This week, Jane Mayer joins us for a book club discussion on her latest, The Dark Side: The Inside Story Of How The War On Terror Turned Into A War On American Ideals.
Jane writes:
So–on a morning when accountability seems to have evaporated in the financial world – I’d like to know what we do about accountability at the top of our government for authorizing the abuse- and in some cases the killing of U.S.-held prisoners, all of which were criminal until the day before 9/11. Any thoughts?
Discussing also: Christopher Hitchens, Emily Bazelon, Scott Horton, Marty Lederman and TPM Alum Spencer Ackerman. Join us.
