Rogue Justice

Meer over het boek

Gives an account of how America's War on Terror sparked a decade-long assault on the rule of law, weakening our courts and our Constitution in the name of national security. In this exposé, Greenberg introduces key players and events in the post-9/11 justice system, showing that time and again, when liberty and security have clashed, justice has been the victim. She connects the dots--from the Patriot Act to today's military commissions, from terrorism prosecutions to intelligence priorities, from the ACLU's activism to Edward Snowden's revelations. And she poses a stark question: will the American justice system ever recover from the compromises it made for the war on terror? --Adapted from publisher description
