Democracy detained: secret, unconstitutional practices in the U.S. war on terror. Seven Stories Press, c2007

KF7661.O44 2007

Barbara Olshansky exposes the Bush administration in their war on terror by meticulously analyzing the justifications made by the U.S. government for covert actions at home and abroad. She reports on the outsourcing of torture through extraordinary rendition, including first-person testimony from innocent men imprisoned without charge at Guantánamo Bay. Democracy Detained is an informative resource for Americans concerned about their civil rights.
