Barack Obama 曾承诺改变 George W. Bush 的全球反恐战争路线。然而，Obama 政府却动用无人机击杀涉嫌好战分子，并大量吸纳美国公民的通话数据。Obama 曾批评 Bush 的单边主义和保密作风，自己却绕过国会发动战争，并对泄密事件进行了前所未有的严厉打击。通过详尽的调查报道，Savage 探讨了 Obama 及其法律团队——一个曾发誓恢复法治的自由派精英群体——究竟如何以及为何最终被指责巩固了“9·11”后安全国家的庞大权力。如果指控属实，那么

查理·萨维奇（Charlie Savage）的书《权力之战》（Power Wars）对这个讲得挺多的。tl;dr 基本上就是：奥巴马之前的几届政府绝对也想打击告密者，只是没那个能力。告密这一行为……
