Slate’s running a cute top 10 article listing the top 10 most outrageous civil liberty violations in the USA in 2006. There was a time we could safely just roll our eyes and say or think “only in America”.

While it’s a journalist’s job to make an article sensational enough to pull in readers, nonetheless it’s quite a worrying picture she paints. It appears as if, while the Bush regime can’t hide the failure of the war in Iraq any longer, they still aim to try and hide the atrocities they commit on their own soil (or close enough).

I think George Dubya felt a chill seeing the fate that caught up with Saddam, and determined that that would never happen to him, by hook or by crook.
