Details

Since September 11, the US government has detained more than 1,200 people in connection with its investigation of that day's attacks, not a single one of whom has been charged with any crime. Here's the why, the how, and what it means for those currently "legal" residents and nationals.
"A brilliantly argued universalist case for maintaining citizen's rights for everyone in America on the basis of human dignity and equality. David Cole's gripping book amply demonstrates that, if such a standard is not implemented, there is a real danger that aliens will be persecuted as enemies and Americans as un-Americans" —Edward Said
"David Cole is the country's greatest voice for civil liberties today. In this important book he shows how 9/11 has been used to undermine the legal rights of immigrants—and that after them, it will be easy to target American citizens." —Anthony Lewis
