To My Fellow Churchillians: I am seeking the source of the following passage by WSC:
"The power of the Executive to cast a man into prison without formulating any charge known to the law, and particularly to deny him judgement by his peers for an indefinite period, is in the highest degree odious, and is the foundation of all totalitarian Governments, whether the Nazi or Communists. Nothing can be more abhorrent to democracy that to imprison a person or keep him in prison because he is unpopular. This is really the test of civilization."
