Phenomenal, just phenomenal, but in that way that makes me kinda want to die. The writing is sparse and elegant, the rhetorical structure is impeccable, the detail leaves nothing wanting, and the topic couldn't be more relevant or more depressing. Greenwald is mercilessly non-partisan; he lambasts Republican and Democratic administrations and politicians equally harshly (as well he should), on his way to the point that the establishment of elite immunity vis a vis the American "justice" system has had an untrammeled rise over the past 30 years. Truly essential reading for anyone who still believes in the founding principles of the country.
