“Or as Jesus said, ‘Whatsoever ye do unto the least of these, the same ye do unto me.‘ And so the great test of the state is the state of the public schools and the treatment of the elderly, the ill, the demented, the incarcerated. And so the adoption of torture as American policy, and loosing the darkness of the soul upon some poor manacled taxi driver at Guantánamo who got snatched up six years ago because he had the same last name as somebody on the CIA's list, and some fine young Caltech grad is shoving Ahmad's head into a toilet—this is no small matter.”
