> At the center of the Bush White House's most extreme overreaches -- its assertions of unfettered executive power in wartime, its backing of brutal treatment of detainees, its bulldozing of legal limits on government eavesdropping -- lies one man.
>
> And it's not Vice President Cheney -- at least not directly. It's David S. Addington, Cheney's longtime legal counsel and, ever since I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby's indictment and resignation, his chief of staff.
>
> A startling new book from a disillusioned former Justice Department official sheds new light on just how extremist, bullheaded and -- for a long time -- unstoppable Addington was.
>
> The author of the book is Jack Goldsmith, the former head of the Office of Legal Counsel and the subject of a profile in this Sunday's New York Times Magazine by Jeffrey Rosen.
>
> Goldsmith apparently was sympathetic to many of Addington's goals. But not the means. Because the means were illegal. And ultimately self-defeating.
