Atrios:

It's difficult to really know how to think about a political movement for which advocating torture becomes an applause line, and this is treated as perfectly normal by The Villagers.

George Orwell:

...and reprisals against prisoners which extend even to boiling and burying alive, are looked upon as normal, and, when they are committed by one's own side and not by the enemy, meritorious.
