Summary

Torture. Kidnapping. Bogus wars. Illegal wiretapping. Propaganda. Spies in the newsrooms. Oil Profiteers. Soldiers who won't fight. Mothers of fallen soldiers who will. In Static, the bestselling brother-sister team of Army Goodman, host of Democracy Now!, and investigative journalist David Goodman takes on government liars, corporate profiteers, and the media that have acted as their cheerleaders. The authors cut through the official static to show the truth about war, torture, and government control of the media. Static breaks the sound barrier to present the voices of dissidents, activists, and others who are too often frozen out of official debate. Read Static. Become informed. Fight back. Defend democracy. Book jacket.
