Following In Their Goose-Steps.

When I first caught wind of the term "homeland security" I immediately thought "Nazis".  And that was before we started sequestering rights and compromising basic freedoms.  This torture bit only serves to further the analogy of a group that's too over-reaching for its own good, striving to eradicate a group of scapegoats before they harm our society.  Oh, sorry George, its not "torture", its "enhanced interrogation."  Of course that's what the Nazis called it too.  And they were a little more squeamish than the Brush administration at the outset, not allowing hypothermia or water boarding.  Pussies.  How do you expect to make freedom without nearly drowning some people?
