一般注記 | Includes bibliographical references (p. [361]-369) and index Summary: In the days immediately following September 11th, the most powerful people in the country were panic-stricken. Radical decisions about how to combat terrorists and strengthen national security were made in a state of chaos and fear, but the key players, Vice President Cheney and his powerful, secretive adviser David Addington, used the crisis to further a long-held agenda to enhance presidential powers to a degree never known in U.S. history, and obliterate Constitutional protections that define the very essence of the American experiment. This is a dramatic account of how the United States made terrible decisions in the pursuit of terrorists around the world--decisions that not only violated the Constitution, but also hampered the pursuit of Al Qaeda. Whatever the short-term gains, there were incalculable losses in terms of moral standing, our country's place in the world, and its sense of itself.--From publisher description HTTP:URL=http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0835/2008299452-b.html Information=Contributor biographical information HTTP:URL=http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0835/2008299452-d.html Information=Publisher description HTTP:URL=http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0901/2008299452-s.html Information=Sample text |
