I realize it's Godwin's Law to invoke Hitler, fascism and the Nazis in any Internet discussion. Such hyperbole generally shuts down all rational discourse left. But this article by Naomi Wolf is a fantastic compiliation of all the reasons one has to ignore Godwin's Law when discussing the American government these days. This article really should not be a reasonable thing, not in the America I know and love. But it is, and that's why it's supremely important for the citizens of these United States to wake up and keep themselves informed.

Wow, seems that your time would be better spent watching Fox News than reading this conspiracy theorist. :D
Seriously though, do you actually believe everything she wrote? My son-in-law has been to Gitmo and tells me the prisoners are treated very well, and George Bush did not find these external enemies ... they found us.
She's not said much that I haven't been saying for at least 2 years. I realize it's hard to believe, but Americans need to wake up and realize that democratic elections are no panacea against totalitarianism.
The prisoners at Gitmo are not treated well. Human rights organizations who haven't even been allowed to see all the conditions at Gitmo have denounced the whole operation. And even if Gitmo were a resort, it still doesn't change the fact that most of the prisoners there have been held for 5 years with no charges filed, no ability to question or challenge the correctness of their imprisonment, nor any of the other protections our Constitution affords prisoners. They haven't even been given the standard protections afforded prisoners of war by the military code of justice. Their indefinite detentions are illegal regardless of the conditions.
Bush uses the existing enemies created by 50 years of Cold War covert operations to create new enemies. He's turned Iraq into a breeding ground for terrorists.
Scary. Thanks for posting it- I have sent it along to some other folks.
