On good days the room is filled with light, on others, like the day we discussed the torture at Abu Ghraib, we feel heavy and caked with the danger that you have foisted on our own fledgling democracy.

Strange he calls the U.S., which I believe is the oldest continuous democracy, a "fledgling". (Yes, I know we are a Constitutional Republic, not a democracy. Come to think of it, maybe that is what the writer is thinking/hoping, that we are becoming more and more a pure "democracy", which is not a good thing.)
