People forget the myriad instances of their government's flouting of the Constitution and international legal norms--if they were ever aware of them in the first place--accepting to live in the increasingly pernicious "new normal" with little protest.</p><p>This remarkable anthology of columns documents and reminds us of the extraordinary developments that, in their accumulation, have led to the destruction of accountable and moral government in the United States.</p><p>Few American commentators have cut more clearly through the deepening deceit, hypocrisy, and outright criminality that has infested official Washington since 9/11 than Paul Craig Roberts.
