The frightening parallels between the witch hunt craze and today's hunt for terrorists.
Witch hunts are the products of intense fear and paranoia and the results are often terrible. This book analyzes witch hunts in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and finds many of the same elements repeated in various miscarriages of justice. It cites that Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo, the prisons created for 'witches' (terrorists) since Salem.
