 Enlightening and necessary October 16, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Every American should read this book to find out what is being done in his and her name--supposedly for our benefit.
The evidence is shocking. The only heartening thing is the effort of some Bush appointees, some FBI, Navy, etc., to fight the Administration's illegal, self-defeating, foolish and disgusting practices. But they didn't have a chance against Bush and Cheney.
That Bush and Cheney, etc., know that what they are doing is unconstitutional and prosecutable is evident: they wrote pardons for themselves into the law.
 Terrorism caused from the White House October 14, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book gives an excellant account of gross control of power from within the White House by Bush, Cheney, and his croonies. How this power and control fed the terror we face as a nation and the future of terrorism within our boundries. The arrogance of the administration doing what they wanted regardless of the current laws. They were "ABOVE THE LAW".
The writer has done a very good job portraying this. I would highly recommend it. Action should be taken against the power monguls who had to control.....
The Dark Side October 12, 2008

I checked this title from the library. I had difficulty reading much of the material, even though I already believed Cheney, Addisson, Gongalez, et. al. are more than capable of "thinking" of such atrocities. The reporting is brilliant and extreemly disturbing. As an educator, I would advise this book to be REQUIRED reading for every American, at least all appropriately aged (?) students.
Best Book on Bush Misdeeds October 3, 2008

Of many books I have read on the misdeeds and mistakes of the Bush Administration in Iraq, Afghanistan, and the War on Terror generally, this is the best. Its impact sinks in page after page, horrific detail after horrific detail.
Groupthinkers for torture September 30, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Jane Mayer has written a well-documented analysis of how the White House succumbed to the sociology of groupthink and pretty much froze out those who disagreed with or questioned the wisdom of allowing torture under any name.
There are a lot of books about the machinations of the White House available, but I think this one is the best.
