Hitler / Bush

[The_Rorschach]

"Like Hitler, Bush began to curtail civil liberties in response to a well-publicized national outrage, in Hitler's case the Reichstag fire, in Bush's case the 9-11 catastrophe. "

The policies are similar, in some respect, but the question was regarding both taking advantage of the situation to impliment precedents which abused civil liberties. In one case, the situation was orchestrated, in another, it was used. There is a difference.
