Chris Floyd: 'Home cooking: Feasting on the fruits of torture'
When the devil comes knocking on your front door, looking for a way to spread his evil inside, he won't be sporting horns and a tail. He's going to come dressed as your sweetest dream, clean as a whistle, pious, sincere. He's going to speak your lingo, ape your ways -- and when he opens up his little box of poison, it's going to look like the heaven your mama sang about when she rocked you to sleep in your cradle.

Then one day, when the mind-fog lifts, you see him sitting at the head of the table, the walls of the room smeared with filth, dead bodies swelling on the blood-mucked floor, the still-living victims hog-tied and naked, screaming for mercy as the whipcords strike. He beckons you forward with a welcoming smile. You pause for a moment. It seems so strange: All this horror -- it would have once made you sick, but now it just feels like ... home. You shrug, you grin, you take your place beside him at the feast.

Last week, the minions of George W. Bush announced, in open court, that he has the power to seize anyone on earth -- even 'little old ladies in Switzerland' -- and imprison them forever if he so chooses, The New York Times reports. The minions said that anyone Bush declared 'an enemy combatant' -- even if they never took up arms against America, even if they didn't know their actions were related to terrorism in any way -- could be abducted from any nation, friend or foe, or in the Homeland itself, and held indefinitely, 'at the president's discretion,' stripped of all rights under the U.S. Constitution or the Geneva Conventions."

This IS fascism.

3. You know, everytime I think we've hit absolute rock bottom, these
guys do something else that proves to me that they still have some tricks up their sleeves to sink us even further into the abyss.
