If it Quacks Like a Duck...

So what does this sound like a description of to you:

...a massive, warrantless domestic surveillance program implemented at the whim of the Chief Executive and his inner circle, and unimpeded by any oversight; the use of federal law enforcement agencies to spy on political opponents of the administration; an elaborate network of clandestine detention facilities designed to hold people indefinitely without charge or legal representation, and where suspects may be tortured and then, at the discretion of secret tribunals, executed; an executive branch of government that views the notion of checks and balances as a fusty anachronism, if not subversive; the fusion of federal and corporate power; and the monitoring of the reading habits of private citizens –- all of this done under the rationalizing rubric of national security.

Sounds like Nazi Germany in the 1930s as they were on their inexorable march to power. But the astute readers (and by that I mean liberals) of this blog will immediately recognize that this is actually an accurate description of the Bush Administration's actions since 2001.
