Compared to Wilson, Bush is a staunch civil libertarian. If Wilson 
were President today, Air America wouldn't be allowed to broadcast, 
John Murtha would've been denied his seat in Congress, and everyone

And that's not even considering the idiocy of getting the US into 
the bloody, stupid war in the first place.
