Moving from a dictatorship to a military dictatorship

another step in the consolidation of power using (what else?) fear as the principal driver...

Officials say [Bush] is considering substantially increasing the presence of National Guard troops, some of whom are already deployed under state of emergency declarations in New Mexico and Arizona. Administration officials are exploring ways to allow governors to deploy troops across state lines to help seal the porous border with Mexico.

The militarization of border security would be a dramatic -- and controversial -- gesture in the ongoing political war over illegal immigration. The military has long maintained a small presence under the auspices of drug interdiction, but conservatives in Congress have been pushing for a far more visible and substantial effort.

putting general hayden in charge of the cia fits nicely with the overall plan, dontcha think...?
