Whatever the solution is, I don't want to live behind a wall any more than I want to live in a society that condones torture. These things say more about our national character than our protestations of liberty, democracy, and even our media. We were built on better ideals than that, and we inherited better ideals than that. I'd like to think that we can preserve and even enhance those ideals.
There has to be a way to live that doesn't involve compromises of basic moral character.
