I finished Glenn Greenwald's book, "How Would a Patriot Act?". I didn't learn anything new, but then I'm not the target audience. The audience is the non-blog-reading public. It's a well-crafted and careful exposition of how the Bush Administration has deliberately broken constitutional law in various actions it's taken, from the complete bypassing of the FISA court in the NSA wiretapping to the torture of prisoners in violation of US torture statutes as well as the Geneva conventions. Greenwald makes his case the way a lawyer would when about to present it to a jury, but it's by no means a dry and dusty read, like so much legalese often is.
Buy a copy and lend it to friends.
