When Bush is saying that harsh criticism of his Iraq policy is giving aid and comfort to the enemy, how far will he have to reach to think that acting against political opponents is a legitimate step to bolster national security? That's how this slippery slope always begins. It's too bad that most Americans never lived in a country with a strong presidency and a national security state. Those of us who have see the situation differently. Politicians can justify an incredible range of abuses in the name of "legitimate" steps against "enemies". And in a strong security state, nobody gets to hold them accountable.
