In Honor of 9/11...

I have some recommendations for reading that all American need to look into. Like other episodes in American history, 9/11 and its' aftermath is a prime case of crisis and leviathan in which the government exploits a crisis like an economic downturn or war to gain more power over the people at the expense of the liberties of the people.
