520 1 $a"In the aftermath of 9/11, President Bush and his top advisors declared that the struggle against terrorism would be nothing less than a war - a new kind of war that would require new tactics, new tools, and a new mind-set. Bush's Law is the unprecedented account of how the Bush administration employed its "war on terror" to mask the most radical remaking of American justice in generations." "On orders from the highest levels of the administration, counterterrorism officials at the FBI, the NSA, and the CIA were asked to play roles they had never played before. But with that unprecedented power, administration officials butted up against - or disregarded altogether - the legal restrictions meant to safeguard Americans' rights, as they gave legal sanction to covert programs and secret interrogation tactics, and swept up thousands of suspects in the drift net." "Eric Lichtblau, who has covered the Justice Department and national security issues for the duration of the Bush administration, details not only the development of the NSA's warrantless wiretapping program - initiated by the vice president's office in the weeks after 9/11 - but also the intense pressure that the White House brought to bear on The New York Times to thwart his story on the program." "Bush's Law is an unparalleled and authoritative investigative report on the hidden internal struggles over secret programs and policies that tore at the constitutional fabric of the country and, ultimately, brought down an attorney general."--BOOK JACKET.
