Reclaiming Omelas Bush's arrogance is slowly forcing the nation into a moral debate about the paradox at the foundation of its prosperity. Does fear trump empathy? What about the child in the mop closet?

Semper Why? Part of the toxic waste of war embeds itself in the emotions and the soul of the combatants. That Guantanamo energy, that gusto to terrorize helpless detainees, to humiliate unarmed civilians, isn't so easily contained, and begins corrupting the whole system.
