"Honor and Dignity"??

[kentuck]

The emperor has no clothes. Where is the honor? Where is the dignity? Is the honor in Abu Graib? Or in some foreign prison where we sent folks to be tortured by other countries? Where is the dignity of spying on millions of Americans in the name of national defense? Where is the dignity of destroying everything our nation has stood for? Please tell me where is this "honor and dignity"?
