Goldsmith took the job in October 2003 and began to review the work of his predecessors. Their opinions were the legal framework governing the conduct of the military and intelligence agencies in the war on terror, and he found many&#151;especially those regulating the treatment and interrogation of prisoners&#151;that were deeply flawed.<BR><BR>Goldsmith is a conservative lawyer who understands the imperative of averting another 9/11. But his unflinching insistence that we abide by the law put him on a collision course with powerful figures in the administration. Goldsmith's fascinating analysis of parallel legal crises in the Lincoln and Roosevelt administrations shows why Bush's apparent indifference to human rights has damaged his presidency and, perhaps, his standing in history. 8 pages of photographs. 184996 10 9 2007 The Terror Presidency: Law and Judgment Inside the Bush Administration total:83|5:15|4:36|3:27|2:5|1:0| 83 310 176 23 4 0 false false Fri Jan 16 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 10 10:27:02 -0800 2009 Fri Jan 16 11:29:33 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun May 10 10:56:41 -0700 2009 Sun May 10 11:03:03 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 1 false false Thu Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Wed Nov 07 07:09:23 -0800 2007 Wed Nov 07 07:12:06 -0800 2007 4 0 false false Sun Jul 27 21:43:28 -0700 2008 Mon Jul 28 14:36:12 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sat Feb 02 01:31:10 -0800 2008 Thu Feb 07 00:02:43 -0800 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu Jan 03 08:14:44 -0800 2008 Thu Jan 03 09:50:04 -0800 2008
