The Imperial Presidency

AK Press Audio is proud to present Chomsky vs. the Commander-in-chief. This is not another cataloguing of the offenses and blunders committed by George W. Bush, but a lively chronicle of the systematic power plays which have been either ignored or downplayed in the media for the past four years. World public opinion-what the New York Times has dubbed "the second superpower"- has helped curb much of the "imperial sovereignty" being carved out by the Bush administration, but the full scope of their plans has, until now, not been explored. Among the revelations analyzed, Chomsky discusses the Justice Department's recommendation that the US rescind the Geneva Conventions in order to reduce the threat of the US being convicted under the War Crimes Act of 1996. Under the Act, Bush himself could be put to death
