Pay Any Price - James Risen

A look at corruption and industry government collusion in post 9/11 U.S.  He discusses the profiteering that has gone on behind the closed doors of government secrecy.  He looks at how private industry had virtually taken over and profited from the war in Iraq at the expense of the U.S. taxpayers.  He looks at how the surveillance state came into being despite clear legal obstacles post 9/11. He also looks at how the government under Bush and still under Obama works to keep these facts from the public and squash any people and journalists who attempt to come forward about these issues.  Nothing new really (sadly) but it is interesting to see the details.
