..the leader of Black freedom to white apartheid racists and you know damn well you are consigning him to any fate the white racist can devise. And the CIA guy and his government—that would be us—knew it. Lock him up for good, torture him, kill him. Who cares? Just get rid of him.

Why did he turn Mandela over if he thought nothing would happen to him? Do you imagine that he thought the apartheid government would just give a stern scolding and set him free? What do you think the tip was for? Lunch? Maybe tea?

We had no business intervening in the fate of SA at all. Except sanctions to end their tyranny. Or how about not selling them arms? Hmmm?

Why didn't we intervene during those 27 years if we're so innocent?

Where the hell does responsibility begin or end in your conveniently myopic world view?
