Synopsis: [From the cover] Glenn Greenwald was not a political man. Not liberal, not conservative. To his thinking, the United States was generally on track and would remain forever centrist. But all that has changed. Over the past five years, a creeping extremism has taken hold of our federal government that is threatening to alter our system of government and our national character. This extremism is neither conservative nor liberal in nature, but is instead driven by the Bush administration's radical theories of presidential power. How Would A Patriot Act? is one man's story of being galvanized into action to defend our Constitution, and a penetrating analysis of what is at stake. If we are to remain true to America's founding principles, we cannot abide President Bush's claims of unlimited and unchecked power. Because when you answer to no one, you're not a president. You're a despot. In the spirit of the colonists who once mustered the strength to denounce a king, Greenwald asks: How would a patriot act today?
