“That's what torture does: it creates a miasma of unknowing, about as dangerous a situation in wartime as one can imagine. This hideous fate was made possible by an inexperienced president with a fundamentalist psyche and a paranoid and power-hungry vice-president who decided to embrace "the dark side" almost as soon as the second tower fell, and who is still trying to avenge Nixon. Until they are both gone from office, we are in grave danger the kind of danger that only torturers and fantasists and a security strategy based on coerced evidence can conjure up.” TryingKindDoeMadeStillsSidesPresidentDarkSituationGoneFateImagineSecurityDangerousDangerOfficeEvidenceDecidedStrategyEmbraceVicesGravesHungryTortureTowersDark SideHideousParanoidVice PresidentFundamentalistWartimeUnknowingPower Hungry Author:Andrew Sullivan

“When [Vladimir] Putin, a former lieutenant-colonel in the KGB, became Russia's president on December 31, 1999 - eight years after the failed coup attempt against (then Soviet leader Mikhail) Gorbachev, and eight years after the people had torn down the statue of Felix Dzerzhinsky, the hated founder of the KGB, in Moscow - it was admittedly a shock. Nevertheless, I decided to give Putin a chance. He seemed dynamic and capable of learning. But I had to bury my hopes after just a few months. He proved to be an autocrat - and, because the West let him do as he pleased, he became a dictator.” PeopleGivingYearsPresidentChanceLeaderMonthsCapableDecidedWestEightRussiaFormerHatedShockSovietDictatorFoundersNeverthelessTornStatuesPutinDecemberMoscowColonelsCoupsLieutenantsKgbGorbachev Author:Garry Kasparov
