<blockquote>Dr. Lawrence Britt, a political scientist, wrote an article about fascism which appeared in Free Inquiry magazine, a journal of humanist thought. Dr. Britt studied the fascist regimes of Hitler (Germany), Mussolini (Italy), Franco (Spain), Suharto (Indonesia), and Pinochet (Chile). He found the regimes all had 14 things in common, and he calls these the identifying characteristics of fascism. The article is titled “Fascism Anyone?,” and appears in Free Inquiry’s Spring 2003 issue on page 20.</blockquote>

I have some blogger buds that did a complete series on the 14 Points. I will have to find the link and leave it here. Its awesome and a group effort. It factualizes each one with how BushCo uses them.
I know the piece she’s talking about…it’s awesome.
