Everyone is always violating some aspect of someone's morality.

Listen, I have no problem with you disagreeing with me, but your posts come close to attacking my character and intelligence which I don't appreciate. I am sure you will say you've done no such thing and that is fine too. I do not swallow everything I read or hear whole. But I am also not so naive as to believe our government innocent and blameless. The very fact that the government may have overstepped it's boundaries is reason enough for me to bring attention to the subject and state my reservations with these practices. Perhaps I can pacify your disgust with me by qualifying my statement thus:

If this is happening, it is sick, wrong, inhumane and needs to stop.

However, in light of the documents the paper obtained regarding this matter, I have little doubt this practice occurred.
