This first thoroughly documented report on the crimes of the U.S. intelligence agencies makes chilling reading, even for people who have followed in the news media the day-to-day revelations of misdeeds and cover-ups. Increasingly, these agencies have perverted their original mission to preserve national security, directing their efforts in some cases against law-abiding American citizens. Their dubious activities range from character assassination at home to plotting political murders abroad, from illegal wiretapping to out-and-out burglary.
In addition to detailing the history and methods of such agencies as the CIA, the FBI, and NSA, The Lawless State shows how the IRS and even the grand-jury system have been manipulated for political ends. And although the intelligence agencies now keep a low profile because of adverse publicity, the authors are convinced that an effective means of Congressional control has yet to be found. Until a workable plan of accountability to law is instituted, they say, the threat of a police state will remain with us.
