    “We are not monsters,” the officer told her, according to the statement. “We do what the government tells us.”

    Keep telling yourselves that, you monsters.

    What was done to this woman and others is reprehensible, but that isn’t new at this point.

      The exact same excuse used by every single Nazi who got caught. But you don’t have to be a monster to do evil - that’s a myth created by people who don’t want to imagine they could ever do evil things. To do evil you just have to go with the flow and not do anything to resist.

        Now, we must all fear evil men. But there is another kind of evil which we must fear most, and that is the indifference of good men.

      Another defendant, Rudolf Höss, the commandant at Auschwitz, used the same defense. He explained: “Don’t you see, we SS men were not supposed to think about these things; it never even occurred to us. . . . We were all so trained to obey orders without even thinking that the thought of disobeying an order would simply never have occurred to anybody, and somebody else would have done just as well if I hadn’t. . . . I really never gave much thought to whether it was wrong. It just seemed a necessity.

    Wait, they force some of them to work in the kitchen, after claiming they can’t let them contact lawyers because of security risks? Which is it, are they too dangerous to be allowed to communicate with others, or are they regular people abducted from their homes that make convenient cafeteria workers?
