: The Law and Politics BlogNational Public Radio's Nina Totenberg Interviews Jack Goldsmith, author of "The Terror Presidency"
By Jeff Justman
In a seven-minute interview, National Public Radio legal affairs correspondent Nina Totenberg interviewed former White House Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) Official Jack Goldsmith today. Goldsmith is the author of "The Terror Presidency" which discusses the Bush Administration's battles with the OLC surrounding torture, warrantless surveillance, and the detention and trial of suspected terrorists.
The interview paints a detailed, and somewhat disturbing picture of the internal debate within the OLC subsequent to 9-11. Of particular interest is Goldsmith's internal struggle with an administration he believed in ideologically, but not legally. Anyone interested in the limits of executive power in times of war should check out Totenberg's interview. For an interesting editorial of Goldsmith's book, read Michael Barone's editorial in U.S. News and World Report.
