Bush Bashing

Harry Belafonte, who has emerged weirdly as one of the Bush Administration's harshest critics, compared the Department of Homeland Security to the the Nazi secret police in his latest broadside.

“'We’ve come to this dark time in which the new Gestapo of Homeland Security lurks here, where citizens are having their rights suspended,' Belafonte said in a speech to the annual meeting of the Arts Presenters Members Conference."

But Belafonte's comparison couldn't be more misguided: You see, the Gestapo was efficient.
