Hi all,
I've just submitted for validation:
It Can Happen Here by Joe Conason
From the book jacket:
"THE NAME FOR WHAT IS WRONG WITH
{America's ruling regime]...is authoritarianism. The most obvious symptoms
can be observed in the regime's style, which features an almost casual
contempt for democratic and lawful norms; an expanding appetite for
executive control at the expense of constitutional balances; a reckless
impulse to corrupt national institutions with partisan ideology; and an ugly
tendency to smear dissent as disloyalty. The most troubling effects ...
include the suspension of traditional legal rights for certain citizens; the
imposition of secrecy and the inhibition of the free flow of information;
the extension of domestic spying without legal sanction or warrant; the
promotion of torture and other barbaric practices, in defiance of American
and international law; and the collusion of government and party with
corporate interests and religious fundamentalists."
It's been read and cleand up and should be an easy validation.
