A forceful critique of post-9/11 American policy that argues the expansion of executive power, secret detentions, torture, warrantless surveillance, and the suppression of dissent have eroded constitutional protections and democratic norms; it exposes legal and political justifications used to normalize these abuses, indicts media and political complicity that equates criticism with treason, and urges a renewed defense of civil liberties, the rule of law, and accountable government to protect core American values.

3. Great American Hypocrites
Toppling the Big Myths of Republican Politics
An unflinching critique of contemporary American political and media elites who profess devotion to liberty and justice while enabling and excusing government overreach, militarism, and corporate power. The book dismantles popular myths used to justify abuses—showing how both conservative and supposedly liberal figures endorse surveillance, censorship, and wars that undermine civil liberties—and calls for a principled defense of free speech, separation of church and state, and accountable governance. Through sharp reporting and legal argument, it exposes hypocrisy and urges a recommitment to constitutional and democratic norms.
