Who are we to impose this emotional albatross on public servants? As a nation, we pretend to elect our leaders. It seems unjust to make them a special class to suffer for our sins over wrongheaded laws, or pay a continuing emotional price for securing their future careers.”

Most of the disasters at the News of the World happened because its editors treated their staff in the style of Muammar Gaddafi.”

No more ignoring the law when it is inconvenient. That is not who we are.”
