Bush's Mysterious 'New Programs'

George W. Bush's steady expansion of his own power has bred deep suspicions among Americans about how far he and his neoconservative administration intend to go down the path of authoritarianism. One Republican senator has helpfully suggested that Bush target "Fifth Column" Americans who allegedly sympathize with terrorists. The administration also is refusing to explain why its plan for special detention centers says the facilities may be needed for "rapid development of new programs."

For the full story of whether these fears are examples of paranoia or realism, go to Consortiumnews.com.
