On April 16, 2009, the Justice Department released never-before-seen secret memos describing, in graphic detail, the brutal interrogation techniques used by the CIA under the Bush administration's "war on terror." Now, for the first time, the key documents are compiled in one remarkable volume, showing that the United States government's top attorneys were instrumental in rationalizing acts of torture and cruelty, employing chillingly twisted logic and Orwellian reasoning to authorize what the law absolutely forbids. This collection gives readers an unfiltered look at the tactics approved for use in the CIA's secret overseas prisons—including forcing detainees to stay awake for eleven days straight, slamming them against walls, stripping them naked, locking them in a small box with insects to manipulate their fears, and, of course, waterboarding—and at the incredible arguments advanced to give them a green light. Originally issued in secret by the Office of Legal Counsel between 2002 and 2005, the documents collected here have been edited only to eliminate repetition. They reflect, in their own words, the analysis that guided the legal architects of the Bush administration's interrogation policies. Renowned legal scholar David Cole's introductory essay tells the story behind the memos, and presents a compelling case that instead of demanding that the CIA conform its conduct to the law, the nation's top lawyers contorted the law to conform to the CIA's abusive and patently illegal conduct. He argues eloquently that official accountability for these legal wrongs is essential if the United States is to restore fidelity to the rule of law.

Only once in a lifetime does a war so brutal erupt. A war that becomes an official genocide, causes millions to run from their homes, compels the slaughtering of thousands in the most horrific of ways, and inspires terrorist attacks to transpire across the world. That is the chilling legacy of the ISIS onslaught, and Only Cry for the Living takes a profoundly personal, unprecedented dive into one of the most brutal terrorist organizations in the world. Journalist Hollie S. McKay offers a raw, on-the-ground journey chronicling the rise of ISIS in Iraq—exposing the group’s vast impact and how and why it sought to wage terror on civilians in a desperate attempt to create an antiquated “caliphate.”

Behind The Steele Dossier puts every reader in the center of the action – from the Steele Dossier’s planning and press contacts to congressional under oath answers and the courtroom. Readers will know what said between Fusion GPS Founder Simpson and former MI-6 Spy Christopher Steele. · Why they prepared the dossier? · Who did they contact – FBI, CIA, DOJ, Media, Sources – and when? · Where did they get their information? Behind The Steel Dossier also reveals: what was said between the FBI-DOJ-CIA on this dossier produced by a “Russian Expert” who left Russia over 25 years ago. No Bias. No Bull: This book intentionally does not contain articles from the media or quotes from Cable-TV. Instead, it contains under oath statements provided by the only persons – Steele, Simpson, and government officials (CIA*FBI*DOJ) – who knew the answers to America’s questions. No anonymous sources. No politically biased remarks – from either Party. Behind The Steele Dossier focuses on the Senate Examination of Glenn Simpson – Fusion GPS founder – who hired Steele to research Trump. · Reading the Steele Dossier is easy. But, to develop a deeper understanding, it’s essential to get the reasons it was written. The world needs to understand the motivations, the objectives, the intentions, etc. And that is provided by the under oath answers in this book. · By focusing on this Senate Exam – conducted by attorneys; not politicians – this incredible read concentrates on a fact-based examination by credible counsel from the Senate. These unbiased solicitors provided the world with a non-partisan document: clear and concise with a well-planned outline and excellent timeline. In reading over 3,000 pages of congressional testimony, articles from every angle, letters/memos from politicians; Behind The Steele Dossier cuts through the political bias by publishing facts. Such as these Simpson hearing quotes that we never heard: · It’s sort of like when you’re a journalist…you don’t really decide who’s telling the truth · We were encouraging the media to ask questions about whether the FBI… · I knew it was the DNC that we were working for · I was asked to provide some information to the Justice Department · The Orthodox Church is also an arm of the Russian State · Putin essentially took over the Russian Jewish Community and Leadership · There was a lot of Jewish immigration…and a lot of those people…became very successful and wealthy. · They (FBI) had other intelligence about this matter from an internal Trump campaign source The Russians were interested in making friends with Republicans. · In British intelligence the methodology's a little different from American intelligence. There's a practice of being faithful to what people are saying NOW…it’s time for America to decide AND for the world to see: What’s real news? What’s fake news? Thanks and God Bless America!
