“For the first time in history, the rational and the good are fully armed in the battle against evil. Here we finally find the answer to our paradox; now we can understand the nature of the social power held by evil. Ultimately, the evil, the irrational, truly has no power. The evil men’s control of morality is transient; it lives on borrowed time made possible only by the errors of the good. In time, as more honest men grasp the truth, evil’s stranglehold will be easily broken.” MenFirstsMadeEvilSocialAnswersHonestBrokenMoralityBattleFirst TimeErrorsRationalParadoxIrrationalBorrowedHonest ManTransientEvil ManSocial PowerBorrowed Time Author:Andrew Bernstein
“The Cheney team had, for example, technological supremacy over the National Security Council staff. That is to say, they could read their e-mails. I remember one particular member of the N.S.C. staff wouldn't use e-mail because he knew they were reading it. He did a test case, kind of like the Midway battle, when we'd broken the Japanese code. He thought he'' broken the code, so he sent a test e-mail out that he knew would rile Scooter [Libby], and within an hour Scooter was in his office.” KindUseRememberReadingHoursCasesTeamSecurityExampleParticularBrokenBattleMembersOfficeTestsCodeMailStaffTechnologicalNational SecurityCouncilSupremacySecurity CouncilMidwayScooters Author:Lawrence Wilkerson

“Fire supposed he needed to be there in order to give rousing speeches and lead the charge into the fray, or whatever is was commanders did in wartime. She resented his competence at something so tragic and senseless. She wished he, or somebody, would throw down his sword and say, 'Enough! This is a silly way to decide who's in charge!' And it seemed to her, as the beds in the healing room filled and emptied and filled, that these battles didn't leave much to be in charge of. The kingdom was already broken, and this war was tearing the broken pieces smaller.” WayGivingWarEnoughOrderRoomsHealingFirePiecesBrokenNeededBattleBedSpeechFilledSillyKingdomsTragicCompetenceCommandersWartimeFrayBroken Pieces Book:Fire Source: Fire
