A very sobering and disturbing account of how a democracy, given the right (or wrong) circumstances, can be led astray and end up resembling an authoritarian regime intolerant of opposition, implicitly condoning torture, and engaging in under-handed methods on so many levels -- all in the name of protecting the nation. Those responsible seemed to believe they were on some sort of a higher mission but in fact were utterly misguided. The book ends by describing them as "fools and zealots". History will probably judge them as such as well.
