Does Bush look good in brown?

In today's Guardian Naomi Klein maps out the Decider's ten easy steps to Fascism. They are:

1. Invoke a terrifying internal and external enemy √
2. Create a gulag √
3. Develop a thug caste
4. Set up an internal surveillance system √
5. Harass citizens' groups √
6. Engage in arbitrary detention and release √
7. Target key individuals √
8. Control the press
9. Dissent equals treason √
10. Suspend the rule of law

Despite Ms. Klein’s arguments to the contrary I am not convinced that he and his minions have, as yet, managed items 3, 8 or 10 although there clearly have been material steps taken that push us in that direction.

So I can only give Bush&Co an impressive but not yet top flight 7 out of 10 on the Klein-o-matic Fascism scale.
