基本説明

New in paperback. Hardcover was published in 2007. The Authors find today's abuses of a different, more frightening magnitude than those of the past. Whereas previous presidents and their staffs have sought to hide actions outside the law, this administration has instead sought publicly to justify NSA domestic spying, torture, rendition, and black sites through contorted and flawed legal reasoning ultimately designed to create a monarchical presidency.

Full Description

30 years after the Church Committee unearthed COINTELPRO and other instances of illicit executive behaviour on the domestic and international fronts, the Bush administration has elevated the flaws identified by the committee into first principles of government. Through a constellation of non-public laws and opaque, unaccountable institutions, the current administration has created a secret presidency' run by classified presidential decisions and orders about national security. Here, the authors expose this abuse of power.'
