A Minor Report from Historical Perspective

Audrey Hudson, a Washington Times reporter, said that armed Maryland police and federal agents in full body armor broke into her house at 4:30 in the morning and seized her private notes and government documents that she had obtained under the Freedom of Information Act.
I'm not sure why we are reporting this. It was standard practice by Hitler's SS in Germany during the late '30s.
Perhaps we should start to get excited when a couple of million Americans are sent off to gas chambers.
For those not familiar with Hitler's SS, it was an acronym for Schutz Staffel, which means Defense Echelon. Note the rather innocuous term. However, it was an elite military unit of the Nazi Party that served as Hitler's bodyguard and as a special police force.
For those also not familiar with the gas chamber analogy, the Nazis killed a few million Jews in gas chambers. The more commonly recognized term for that action is The Holocaust.
