Just imagine if the press were to discover a major jail in Gori, occupied by the Russians, where hundreds of Georgians had been dragged in off the streets and tortured and abused? What if we discovered that the orders for this emanated from the Kremlin itself? –Andrew Sullivan

And just imagine if the press were to honestly compare Abu Ghraib with, say, the Lubyanka or remember the “Red Terror”–or that our so-called “Gulag” was nothing compared to the original.

You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will be as one
