Political Action

CHALLENGING U.S. HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS SINCE 9/11
Edited by Ann Fagan Ginger.
"This report is a veritable roadmap to the countless ways in which the Bush administration has used lies and the politics of fear to assault the Bill of Rights, trash human rights, and launch a phony 'War on Terror'. It is equally thorough, frightening and gripping, but demands to be read by every concerned citizen. Aroused voters, not timid politicians, have always been the ones to set America back on course. This is both their call to arms and a loud alarm for the United Nations."
-- John Conyers Jr., Ranking Member, Judiciary Committee, U.S. House of Representatives.
574 pages, paperback. $24.00
