Sinossi
Can torture ever be justified? When is eavesdropping acceptable? Should a kidnapper be waterboarded to reveal where his victim has been hidden? Ever since 9/11 there has been an intense debate about the government s application of torture and the pervasive use of eavesdropping and data mining in order to thwart acts of terrorism. To create this seminal statement on torture and surveillance, Charles Fried and Gregory Fried have measured current controversies against the philosophies of Aristotle, Locke, Kant, and Machiavelli, and against the historic decisions, large and small, of Jefferson, Lincoln, and Pope Sixtus V, among many others. Because It Is Wrong not only discusses the behavior and justifications of Bush government officials but also examines more broadly what should be done when high officials have broken moral and legal norms in an attempt to protect us. This is a moral and philosophical meditation on some of the most urgent issues of our time.

Product Description
Because It Is Wrong asks whether torture can ever be justified, when eavesdropping is acceptable and if a kidnapper should be waterboarded to reveal where his victim has been hidden. Since 9/11 there has been an intense debate about the US government's application of torture and the pervasive use of eavesdropping and data mining. To create this seminal statement, the authors have measured current controversies against the philosophies of Aristotle, Locke, Kant and Machiavelli, and against the historic decisions of Jefferson, Lincoln and Pope Sixtus V, among others. Because It Is Wrong discusses the behaviour and justification of officials under Bush but also examines what should be done when high officials break moral and legal norms in an attempt to protect the people. This is a moral and philosophical meditation on some of the most urgent issues of our time.
