Fifteen-year-old Omar Khadr crying out to an American soldier, "Kill me!" Hunger strikers at Guantánamo being restrained and force-fed through tubes up their nostrils. John Walker Lindh lying naked and blindfolded in a metal container, bound by his hands and feet, in the freezing Afghan winter night. This is the story of the Bush administration's response to the attacks of September 11, 2001-and of how we have been led down a path of executive abuses, human tragedies, abandonment of the Constitution, and the erosion of due process and liberty. In this vitally important book, Peter Jan Honigsberg chronicles the black hole of the American judicial system from 2001 to the present, providing an incisive analysis of exactly what we have lost over the past seven years and where we are now headed.Prisoners of warLegal status, laws, etcUnited StatesDetention of personsUnited StatesHuman rightsGovernment policyUnited StatesWar on Terrorism, 2001-2009Prisoners of warLegal status, laws, etcCubaGuantanamo Bay Naval BasePrisoners of warLegal status, laws, etcCubaGuantanamo Bay Naval BaseCasesCombatants and noncombatants (International law)2001.21st century.afghanistan.america.american judicial system.american policy.american soldiers.bush administration.criminal investigation.dark.discussion books.engaging.foreign policy.guantanamo.human rights abuses.hunger strikers.imprisonment.injustices.intense.litigation.men at war.national security.nonfiction.political.september 11.terrorism.terrorist imprisonment.tragedies.trial.us constitution.war on terror.warfare.Prisoners of warLegal status, laws, etc.Detention of personsHuman rightsGovernment policyWar on Terrorism, 2001-2009.Prisoners of warLegal status, laws, etc.Prisoners of warLegal status, laws, etc.Combatants and noncombatants (International law)345.73/056Honigsberg Peter Jan1673349MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910816875303321Our nation unhinged4037386UNINA
