The Dark Side: The Inside Story of How the War on Terror Turned Into a War on American Ideals by Jane Mayer

I was enjoying this for a while but it got too depressing. The incompetence of George Bush was too painful to live over again so soon. What is striking here is the description of the days immediately after 9/11. Both Cheney and Bush were more concerned about their own safety than the country's. Their sad paranoia and Bush's irresponsible delegation of power are mind numbing.
