Publisher's Note
Village Voice columnist Hentoff has been one of the most vociferous opponents of the Bush administration's attempts to curtail American liberty in the wake of the September 11th attacks. Here, he surveys the broad-based attack on civil liberties spearheaded by Attorney General John Ashcroft, including discussions of the USA PATRIOT act and other "anti-terrorism" legislation, attempts to declare individuals as "enemy combatants" with no right to due process, and the ever-widening surveillance net. He also describes efforts to resist the Bush-Ashcroft agenda from various sides of the political spectrum. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
