Our soul

Let's see, we, through people we have deputized to do such things, engaged in extraordinary rendition: kidnapped, imprisoned and tortured a man, and then released him, in a state of psychosis that our actions induced, into a strange land without a word of explanation; and he has no redress whatsoever as far as our country is concerned, because talking about it might expose state secrets.
Do I have that right?
Our nation has sold its soul to the devil.
I am so ashamed...

In all seriousness - I really do like "Now the Silence". Really.

- a redemptive soul
