Enemy Aliens

Double Standards and Constitutional Freedoms in the War on Terrorism

Beschreibung

In the aftermath of 9/11, the anti-immigrant brand of American patriotism was at fever pitch. Now, as courts find the Bush administration's tactics of secrecy and assumption of guilt unconstitutional, Cole's book stands as a critical indictment of the double standards that have been applied in the war on terror.
