“Challenging U.S. Human Rights Violations Since 9/11” - Berkeley HR Org's New Book is Out

Local human rights lawyer and activist Ann Ginger and the Meiklejohn Civil Liberties Institute have just published an amazing compendium of the atrocities the US government has engaged in since 9/11 - “Challenging U.S. Human Rights Violations Since 9/11”

The book includes hundreds of examples of killings, torture, deportations, detentions, searches & seizures, arrests, etc. and was submitted as a shadow Report to the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, and to the U.S. State Department in Washington on April 18, 2005.

Here's one review:

"This report is a veritable roadmap to the countless ways in which the Bush Administration has used lies and the politics of fear to assault the Bill of Rights, trash human rights, and launch a phony 'War on Terror.' It is equally thorough, gripping, and frightening, but demands to be read by every concerned citizen. Aroused voters, not timid politicians, have always been the ones to set America back on course. This is both their call to arms and a loud alarm for the United Nations."
