And you shouldn't find torture-apologists among the intellectual
on-campus right, but you do. Meanwhile, there are many intellectuals
throughout the spectrum who denounce human rights violations regardless

just Heidegger but contemporary apologists among German historians (many
on the right, e.g. Ernst Nolte). --PR
