Under Bush, the President got the power to imprison American citizens without charge or trial. He also got the power to order, with reason, any American citizen in a foreign country. Under Bush, he extended surveillance to include anybody who disagrees with the government - especially including peace groups. Under Bush, the US invaded Iraq and Afghanistan. Under Bush, torture became a legal practice. I think that is the definition of a police state.
