They can sit at home, loudly condemn us, pray for us and express their disgust.

I believe that there is such a thing as human character...
...triangulation, a sort of syllogism, that seemed to be at work: Except for evil itself (if you believe in evil, as Chambers did), what mystery is deeper than that of betrayal? What betrayal is deeper, and more decisive, than suicide? What deeper political or social suicide can a man commit than to betray his country...
