Radical decisions about how to combat terrorists and strengthen national security were made in a state of chaos and fear, but the key players, Vice President Cheney and his powerful, secretive adviser David Addington, used the crisis to further a long-held agenda to enhance presidential powers to a degree never known in U.S. history, and obliterate Constitutional protections that define the very essence of the American experiment. This is a dramatic account of how the United States made terrible decisions in the pursuit of terrorists around the world--decisions that not only violated the Constitution, but also hampered the pursuit of Al Qaeda. Whatever the short-term gains, there were incalculable losses in terms of moral standing, our country's place in the world, and its sense of itself.--From publisher description. 0aWar on Terrorism, 2001-2009. 0aSeptember 11 Terrorist Attacks, 2001xInfluence. 0aMilitary interrogationzUnited States. 0aWar and emergency powerszUnited States. 4aGuerra contra el terrorismo, 2001- 4aSeptiembre 11 Ataque terrorista, 2001xInfluencia 0aPoderes de emergencia  0aUnited StatesxPolitics and governmenty2001-2009. 0aUnited StatesxHistoryy21st century. 4aEstados UnidosxHistoria 4aEstados UnidosxPolítica y gobiernoy2001-2009
