This is the most alarming thing I have ever read as a citizen of the constitutional republic the United States of America. This is no academic exercise as it has now become clear that President Bush and Attorney General Gonzales have been acting according to principles stated explicitly by Mansfield. Greenwald's books are:
- How Would a Patriot Act? Defending American Values from a President Run Amok, Working Assets Publishing, 2006.
- A Tragic Legacy: How a Good vs. Evil Mentality Destroyed the Bush Presidency, Crown, 2007.
