Russian Intel.: Bush like Hitler

[OK, the title is wrong: I've mixed commentary with Russ intel info. Makes for a good title, though, no?]

Dread pointed out Pravda's "Russian intelligence says constitutional crisis in the USA takes deadly turn" and what an eye opener from Russia. Some of the more interesting quotes:
Bush is asserting the same powers seized by Adolf Hitler in 1933.
[...]
Bush Justice Department official and Berkeley law professor John Yoo argues that no law can restrict the President in his role as Commander In Chief. Thus, once the president is at war - even a vague, open-ended "war on terror" - Bush’s Justice Department says the president is free to undertake any action in pursuit of war, including the torture of children and the indefinite detention of American citizens.
[...]
The ignorance of the American people to these most crucial of events changing the very structure of the government they live under is both appalling and a testament to the power of their propaganda media organs controlled by their military leaders to deceive them on a scale not seen since Nazi Germany, which was the world’s last democratically-elected government to assume full dictatorial military control.
And ends with:
The twilight of this once-great nation has indeed come upon the American people, but after twilight comes utter darkness…and which they enter into now unprepared for the true horrors they will soon be facing.
Wow. I didn't vote for Bush in '04 but I didn't hate the man either. However with all that's leaking out of WashDC and commentary like the above, one really has to wonder what this country is really turning into. I didn't think my generation would be condemned so soon...
