I think the perspective is extremely narrow, but makes sufficient use of published reports on the topic to corroborate their narrative. The section on legal attack on journalists sensationalizes the plight of individuals that are protecting criminals under the auspice of freedom of the press. What the article tries to convey is that the journalists are being prosecuted for publishing the leaks, which is untrue. The journalists are being prosecuted for obstructing investigations by failing to identify the criminal leakers. No institution in the country should be immune to prosecution for abetting illegal activities, and certainly should not try to use 'privileges' which are a 'bedrock of free press' as an excuse for doing so. The framing of the section on rendition as 'admitted', 'kidnap', of 'alleged terrorists' highlights the authors biased perspective on the topic. McCain and others have championed a humane approach to rules regarding torture. While the administration obviously values the US citizen's right to live over an enemy combatants right to comfort, the torture issue has seen the light of day, been debated, and had legislative action to address the concerns. The section relating to surveillance infrastructure is notably shrill, and while the topic is supposed to be the end of the 'Bush Era' not one place does it show how the this climate of information gathering relates to the policies of the current administration.
