An Alternative to the Ashcroft Road Show
Georgetown law professor David Cole's new book, Enemy Aliens, examines the detention of more than 1,200 people in connection with the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Former New York Times columnist Anthony Lewis said, "Cole is the country's great voice for civil liberties today. In this important book he shows how 9/11 has been used to undermine the legal rights of immigrants — and that after them, it will be easy to target American citizens."
Cole, a volunteer staff attorney for the Center for Constitutional Rights and the legal affairs correspondent for The Nation, will discuss his new book at 5 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 28, at Politics and Prose, 5015 Connecticut Ave. NW.
DC Metro Action is published by Michael Schlesinger, a 32-year veteran of electoral and issue organizing who is committed to social justice and to increasing participation in the political process.
