Winston Churchill Quote -

[paparush]

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 judgment of his peers, is in the highest degree odious, and the foundation of all totalitarian government whether Nazi or Communist.

~~Winston Churchill

Interesting that some MP's are calling for Blair's head for his blind support of Bush**.

4. Well, dear old Winnie didn't have a problem flinging Gandhi in prison.

"It is alarming and also nauseating to see Mr. Gandhi, a seditious middle temple lawyer, now posing as a fakir of a type well known in the east, striding half-naked up the steps of the viceregal palace, while he is still organizing and conducting a defiant campaign of civil disobedience, to parley on equal terms with the representative of the king-emperor."

- Winston Churchill, 1930

5. Jan Smutts (the architect of apartheid) and Gandhi were great friends...

In fact, Smutts always wore a pair of leather sandals that Gandhi made for him.

Moral: No great man is without a blindspot whether he be Churchill or Gandhi.
