	Armed Madhouse From Baghdad to New Orleans--Sordid Secrets & Strange Tales of a White House Gone Wild by Greg Palast ISBN: 9780452288317 $15.00 Paperback Plume Books Digging up reams of documents marked “secret” and “confidential,” Greg Palast provides the latest lowdown on Bush's secret plans to seize Iraq's oil, the fix planned for the 2008 election, who drowned New Orleans, and the horror and the humor of the War on Terror.
	Chasing Ghosts Failures and Facades in Iraq: A Soldier's Perspective by Paul Rieckhoff ISBN: 9780451221216 $15.00 Paperback New American Library After spending almost a year in one of the bloodiest and most volatile areas of Baghdad, Paul Rieckhoff vowed to tell Americans the harrowing truth.

	City Adrift New Orleans Before and After Katrina A Center for Public Integrity Investigation Foreword by Dan Rather ISBN: 9780807132845 $22.95 Hardcover Louisiana State University Press Comprehensive and balanced, City Adrift provides not only an assessment of what went wrong in "the Big Easy" during and after Hurricane Katrina, but also, more importantly, a road map of what must be done to ensure that such a devastating tragedy is never repeated.

	Torture When the Unthinkable Is Morally Permissible by Mirko Bagaric & Julie Clarke ISBN: 9780791471548 $17.95 Paperback State University of New York Press In contrast to other discussions that focus narrowly on the practice of torture, and condemn it under any and all circumstances, Mirko Bagaric and Julie Clarke argue that there are moral grounds to use torture where the lives of the innocent are at stake.
