The Constitution and 9/11: Recurring Threats to America's Freedoms

by Louis Fisher

Book Overview

The announced purpose of U.S. antiterrorist policies after 9/11 was to bring democracy and the rule of law to the Middle East. At home, those values were regularly threatened by illegal, unconstitutional, secret, and unaccountable programs. The Bush administration claimed that terrorists hate America for its freedoms, yet its actions jeopardized those freedoms and brought the reputation of the United States lower in the eyes of the world.

A great book about liberties lost and how the Constitution has been shredded. Fisher is the top in

A must read. Louis Fisher is mentioned by Ron Paul in his "Revolution: A Manifesto." Fisher is a true American patriot and I recommend all of his works.

Illumination of Facts...

This book sheds a startling but bright and objective light into a very serious look at the coming 'New America'. A time as more than ever as these that we live in. Tells us that the time has come for overwhelming consideration of what is the ordinary man's response, reaction, responsibility and recourse as a proper answer to a threat of a true 'Orwellian' and 'Huxleyian' world for more than just America. For those of us here and other individuals around the world whom remember what a true sense of freedom and privacy was, the answer is an easy one, but the solution will prove to be a very difficult task. Louis Fisher has written a very excellent and comprehensive book detailing America's extremely dire predicament of it's frightening burden to maintain 'Constitutional Integrity' in a time of enormous strain and the extreme fatal outcome of this current state of 'Constitutional Frailty'.
