"Their shamelessness is quite extraordinary. Their denials are less than half-hearted. . . . The issue for American individuals becomes a moral one: how, in the face of this shame to which I am subjected, do I behave? How do I save my honour?"
--J.M. Coetzee on the Bush administration's stance on torture

But we, the American individuals, don't think this, do we?
