And I Quote

The power of the Executive to cast a man into prison without formulating any charge known to Law, and particularly to deny him judgment of his peers, is the highest degree of odious and it is the foundation of all Totalitarian government whether NAZI or Communist.

~ Winston Churchill
November 21, 1943

The same words could be spoken today as they are as true today as they were nearly 64 years ago. All that is required is to replace NAZI with NEO-CON to make the statement 'up to the moment'.
