Eco, Umberto. "The Wolf and the Lamb: The Rhetoric of Oppression." Turning Back the Clock: Hot Wars and Media Populism. Harcourt, 2006. Orlando.
This is a great essay by Eco on rhetoric and oppression.
45-46 aristotle and some definitions of rhetoric
Lots of discussion about begging the question, how oppressors structure arguments/persuasion to manipulate folks, etc.
A nice linking between classical rhetoric and contemporary issues in the gulf with some WW I and WW II references to help set the tone. As always, it is written beautifully.
