IT COULD HAPPEN THERE?

Norm Geras saves you the bother of wading through Naomi Wolf's jeremiad about the slow drift towards fascist dictatorship in America. I had tried reading her piece, and gave up at Warning Sign Number 3, which tried to equate bone-headed Republican activists with the Brownshirts.

It is an interesting piece. In particular, Wolf supports her thesis that that freedom in America has been gradually eroded under the Bush Administration by citing specific examples: the Patriot Act, Guantanamo, the no-fly list, government surveillance, the Military Commissions Act, the constant threat of terror, and the constant stream of "doublespeak". These are all very valid concerns, I feel.
