Naomi Wolf's 10 Precursors To Facsism

1. Invoke a terrifying internal and external enemy
2. Create a gulag
3. Develop a thug caste
4. Set up an internal surveillance system
5. Harass citizens' groups
6. Engage in arbitrary detention and release
7. Target key individuals
8. Control the press
9. Dissent equals treason
10. Suspend the rule of law.

Blackwater would seem to be the thug caste and Gitmo is cleary a gulag. Presidential Signing Statements declaring Bush will not enforce the laws as written by Congress seem to fit #10. I seriously worry that, if a Democrat wins in 2008, they may try to end American democracy and stay in office. Scary stuff.
