Churchill: "to cast a man into prison without formulating any charge ... is in the highest degree odious" ... but legal under Bush

www.AndrewSullivan.com - Daily Dish: "

'The power of the Executive to cast a man into prison without formulating any charge known to the law, and particularly to deny him the judgement of his peers, is in the highest degree odious and is the foundation of all totalitarian government whether Nazi or Communist,' - Winston Churchill, November 21, 1943, describing what is now legal and constitutional in the United States, under president Bush."
