What was he going to say?
The truth.
That nothing, no matter how horrible,
ever really happens
without the approval of the government.
Over there, and here.
The problem isn’t the doing.
It’s the people in power having to admit
that they knew.
The prisoners are tortured
at Abu Ghraib,
and only the underlings go to jail.
Their bosses knew.
We know their bosses knew.
But you don’t say it.
