There are times when our government's policies are so outlandish, that to comment on them demeans your own person. Washington, this is one of those times.

I think the quote that you are looking for (and note the author) is:

"There are some ideas so preposterous, only an intellectual could believe them."
-- George Orwell

And another one of my favorites that just seems to apply, not only to this situation, but to our government in general (and note exactly where it is enshrined):

"There is nothing more terrifying than ignorance in action."
--Goethe - engraved on a plaque at the Naval War College

Obviously I echo your (and their) sentiments!
