Naomi Wolf wonders - Is the US headed toward an authoritarian state?

Naomi Wolf offers a well-reasoned argument that the measures taken by the Bush Administration (and supported by McCain) put us on a dangerously slippery slope - headed towards an authoritarian state.

She tells of an older German woman who lived in Nazi Germany who kept saying, "They did this in Germany" and gave Wolf a number of books that prompted this talk.

She reveals the FRIGHTENING news that as an American citizen ("a short Jewish woman") she is on the Homeland Securities watch list, along with a constitutional scholar who is critical of the Bush Administration, two elderly women from SF, 2 staffers at the ACLU, one of the leaders of Greenpeace, and A DEDICATED WAR HERO who flew many missions for the US military.
