505 0  Introduction: checks and balances in an endless war -- 
       Part one. Continuity: the new normal; forces bigger than 
       the president -- Part two. Distributed checks and balances
       : accountability journalism; spies under a government 
       microscope; warrior-lawyers; the GTMO bar -- Part three. 
       Assessment: the presidential synopticon -- Afterword: 
       after the next attack. 
520    Conventional wisdom holds that 9/11 sounded the death 
       knell for presidential accountability. In fact, the 
       opposite is true. The novel powers that our post-9/11 
       commanders in chief assumed--endless detentions, military 
       commissions, state secrets, broad surveillance, and more--
       are the culmination of a two-century expansion of 
       presidential authority. But these new powers have been met
       with thousands of barely visible legal and political 
       constraints--enforced by congressional committees, 
       government lawyers, courts, and the media--that have 
       transformed our unprecedentedly powerful presidency into 
       one that is also unprecedentedly accountable. These 
       constraints are the key to understanding why Obama 
       continued the Bush counterterrorism program, and in this 
       light, the events of the last decade should be seen as a 
       victory, not a failure, of American constitutional 
       government. We have actually preserved the framers' 
       original idea of a balanced constitution, despite the vast
       increase in presidential power made necessary by this age 
       of permanent emergency.--Publisher description.
