Via the Volokh Conspiracy, I see that Jack Goldsmith, the former head of the Bush administration's Office of Legal Counsel, has a book coming out in the Fall.  It's called The Terror Presidency: Law and Judgment Inside the Bush Administration.  It doesn't sound like he plans to give things a positive spin.  As this Time magazine profile recounts, when Goldsmith took over at OLC, he repudiated John Yoo's infamous torture memos, despite great pressure from leading Vulcan David Addington.

   Goldsmith's only one of several prominent Bush DOJ officials to express serious reservations about the theory of limitless executive power pushed by the administration, including James Comey and former AG John Ashcroft.  All of these men are staunch conservatives, comfortable with great "energy in the executive" and a vigorous war on terror.  Yet each came to the brink of resigning over the Yoo-Addington theory of executive power.  That should tell us something about just how dangerous that theory is.
