Our American Fascists

TOP 10 SIGNS OF THE IMPENDING U.S. POLICE STATE
Allan Uthman, Buffalo Beast
From secret detention centers to warrantless wiretapping,
Bush and Co. give free rein to their totalitarian impulses.

Those of us who lived through the horrors of WW2 and then watched the same as Stalin converted the Soviet Union into a gulag nation are horrified by the casual violations of basic rights and democratic standards by the Bush administration. It is difficult to determine whether there is an agenda in progress here or that they are too stupid to realize what they are doing. Yes, we had an horrendous gulag in Brooklyn of all places where Muslims were held incommunicado and tortured by the characters running it -- including one who went on to do the same at Abu Ghraib for which he was prosecuted! I don't see us quite at the totalitarian stage yet, but we have certainly crossed the line into well known fascist abuses. Ed Kent
