I just finished Glenn Greenwald’s With Liberty and Justice For Some. I was a bit late to the party on this one – the book has been out for a few years. But it seemed like a timely read anyhow, given Greenwald's current notoriety.
And well worth it.
After reading his book, it would be hard not to understand why the establishment in America, both Democratic and Republican, hates Greenwald so. He is a great researcher, tireless worker, crystal clear thinker and powerful writer interested in truth telling and little else. In other words, if you were describing the journalistic qualities most unwanted by the corrupt power elite of this country, Greenwald fits the bill perfectly.
Greenwald explains well the breakdown of the rule of law in America, how we have become a nation of men rather than the nation of laws the founders intended us to be. Much of Greenwald’s material is stuff we already know, but he does a great job of connecting the dots. And there is a good bit of information that is not so well known, which Greenwald provides to complete what really is a very ugly picture of justice in America. It may not be a picture you want to see, but it’s one you need to see.
