Nah, this is nothing more than the tried and true - from the Soviet Union, Cuba, North Korea no less - the medicalization of political dissent; that is, turning political dissent into a psychiatric illness, so that you can silence political dissidents by locking them up in psychiatric hospitals "for their own good."

Interesting in light of yesterday's comments by the head of NPR that Juan Williams should have kept his comments between himself and his psychiatrist.
