Ne valeva la pena
Il caso Tobagi, le Brigate Rosse, il sequestro di Abu Omar, la 'ndrangheta al Nord: alcune delle inchieste più scottanti raccontate da un magistrato che le ha dirette in prima persona. È il momento di ripercorrere gli ultimi trent'anni di storia giudiziaria italiana e descrivere la tempesta che, tra ambiguità e silenzi, si sta abbattendo sulla nostra giustizia. «Come è potuto accadere che a due pubblici ministeri, sino a quel momento oggetto di denunce sporte solo da mafiosi e terroristi da loro inquisiti, siano state attribuite condotte costituenti gravi reati dal presidente di un governo di centro-sinistra il cui programma elettorale prevedeva la strenua difesa della legalità? E, sop...

Why Do People Become Terrorists?

Overthrow a Fascist Regime on $15 a Day
The highs and lows of the Bush administration from the vantage point of a political dissenter are revealed in this undaunted analysis of American government. Formerly an executive at a Fortune 500 company, Wayne Madsen quit his job and moved to Washington, DC, in 2000 to launch a journalistic, grassroots campaign that sought to cut through media hype and unveil the truth behind the politics. Selections of his writings are included, covering issues ranging from 9/11 and the Iraq war to the ousting of Bill Frist and Rick Santorum. As Madsen’s whistle-blowing became more pronounced, his financial support from sources within the capital dwindled. But as this riveting account shows, some battles can be fought even on a shoestring budget.
