Confessions from a AUSA on the Nebulous WoT

[Kirk Freeman]

If you remember 1984, you remember that we have always been at war with East Asia.

A former AUSA tells of how he fought the MEK when the MEK were terrorists. Now the MEK are no longer terrorists. He discusses the political and social consequences of the WoT and the danger it contains from a legal Weltanschauung.
