BUSH BIOGRAPHER'S DEATH A SUICIDE
Bush Biographer's death a suicide, Police say Saturday, July 21, 2001.
Little Rock, Ark.-James Howard Hatfield, whose biography of U.S. President
George W. Bush won national attention before its publisher withdrew it over
the author's criminal past, died in a motel in what police called a suicide
yesterday. Police said Mr. Hatfield, 43, died of an apparent drug overdose.
His body was found on Wednesday in a motel in Springdale, about 320
kilometres northwest of Little Rock. Mr. Hatfield wrote the unauthorized
biography, Fortunate Son: George W. Bush and the Making of an American
President.

I'm NOT a conspiracy theorist... but. In the immediate aftermath of the
violence at the Democratic National Convention, Mr Hatfield wrote a
personal e-mail to me requesting the use of a Photograph I had taken and
posted on my Website. He graciously offered to pay me by sending me a copy
of his book "Fortunate Son: George W. Bush and the Making of an American
President." Upon it's arrival I read the book from cover to cover.
Hatfield's main allegation was that Bush Jr. had been arrested for
possession of Cocaine in 1972... and the author cited three anonymous
sources verifying the charge. Further, Hatfield claimed that the Bush
Family's influence had any record of this arrest expunged. ST. MARTIN'S
PRESS published 104,000 copies of Hatfield's book, and just prior to that
publisher recalling the books... it hit the New York Times hardcover
nonfiction best seller list. The Bush Family was outraged and denied the
allegations. Hatfield then became the target of a public campaign to
discredit him. The Dallas Morning News and The Washington Post both
reported that Hatfield was convicted in 1988 of plotting to kill a
co-worker. TEXAS prison officials confirmed that a man named James Howard
Hatfield went to prison in 1988 for such a crime (and was paroled in 1993).
Hatfield insisted that he was not that man, and that it was a case of
mistaken identity meant to destroy his reputation. He stuck by his
allegations and found another publisher (Soft Skull Press). His book was
printed once again and put back into circulation... but on a much smaller
scale. In 1999, Bush Jr., continuing his pleas of innocence said of
Hatfield, "I may not be finished with this yet, It's outrageous."
