The last person in America who should be accusing anyone of Hitlerian tactics is a political operative of the current president's administration.

If Ms. Brooks and her cohort had had their way, Saddam Hussein, an admirer of both Hitler and Stalin would still be in power. He would still be offering to contribute support--including WMDs that we now know did not exist only because of OIF--to any and all takers planning on attacking Israel.
