Complete video at: http://fora.tv/fora/showthread.php?t=771 Author Joe Conason discusses the concept of "permanent war" as it relates to authoritarian governments, and argues that the Bush Administration's War on Terror constitutes a modern incarnation of this theme. ----- Joe Conason discusses his most recent book "It Can Happen Here." Political columnist Conason maintains that bit by bit, essential liberties and constitutional protections are being diminished or discarded. Americans of all persuasions must ask, where will it end? This is his chilling answer. His writing has appeared in The Nation, Harper's, The New Yorker, and many other publications. - Book Passage
