Echoing my constant drone on police state is this author. Unlike most reports, though, he is himself a victim of the Obama’s administration’s attack on whistleblowers and reports on his experience. There are slight shreds of optimism, as he reports toward the end, but on balance things look quite grim. I would like to fantasize that this is the beginning of the pendulum swinging back toward rationality, but I just can’t muster the enthusiasm to do so. His story is interesting reading and I strongly suggest reading the above as well as the other stuff he has produced. I would probably buy his book if I hadn’t already decided I wasn’t going to read the books I already have.
