Well written and thought provoking IMHO

Yeah, yeah. This sort of tripe gets published about every politician
since Hitler. Before Hitler, you just called your political opponents
drunkards, sexual perverts, anti-Christs, and aristocrats. Both Thomas
Jefferson and King George III were compared to Nero by their political
enemies. Surely there must be some sort of Godwin's law for newspaper
editorials.

You could have said the same thing about the Clinton administration and
Janet Reno (in fact I did, largely in jest -- but one must be vigilant
about one's civil rights). Remember the complaints about "jack-booted
thugs?" And every President, Prime Minister, attorney general, and
similar person before that draws similar comparisons. The faces change,
the vitriol stays the same.
