From Jeff Harrell at The Shape of Days, on secret prisons.
…it comes down to trust.
Do we trust that there are enough checks and balances? Do we trust that there’s enough oversight? Do we trust, fundamentally, that these excesses we justify in the name of the public good will never be turned against us?
That’s a harder question. And one I’ll have to think about some more before I’m ready to draw a conclusion.
