Do you think Bush Hears that Churchill Bust Talking ?

As you may know, there was a gift from Tony Blair to Bush a while back. it was a bust of former UK Prime Minister Winston Churchill. Upon reading this Churchill quote, i started to think of it as a Dickensian apparition bugging the President at night.

The power of the Executive to cast a man into prison without formulating any charge known to the law, and particularly to deny him the judgement of his peers, is in the highest degree odious and is the foundation of all totalitarian government whether Nazi or Communist.
