Here is the Amazon pre-order page for “The Terror Presidency: Law and Judgment Inside the Bush Administration,” due out in September. According to the publicity material, the book promises to “show why Bush’s apparent indifference to human rights has damaged his presidency and, perhaps, his standing in history.”

Is sovereigntism losing another of its leading exponents? This will I think also be the first such book from a former Administration official with involvement in post-9/11 legal matters from a critical perspective. We can at least expect a fuller version of the Ashcroft hospital-bed scene and the threatened mass resignation at DOJ, and who knows what else. Prediction: this one will not be remaindered!
