Does the war on terror demand new methods of surveillance, interrogation, and justice? Are U.S. laws and courts behind the times? Or has the administration violated the law and abandoned American principles to pursue a new kind of enemy? Eric Lichtblau discussed his newly published book, “Bush’s Law: The Remaking of American Justice” (Pantheon), which includes new details on the pressure brought by the Bush administration against The New York Times to prevent the publication of Lichtblau’s Pulitzer Prize-winning revelations exposing secret surveillance programs in the war on terror. Sponsored by the Carnegie Legal Reporting Program and the Institute for the Study of the Judiciary, Politics and the Media.
