"[O]ur own government, through much of the past fifty years, has been the world's leading ‘rogue state.' Merely listing the plainly illegal or unauthorized uses of force... would literally take volumes. And behind that list reside the bodies of literally hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of innocents, most of them children, whose lives we have taken without any pretense to justice."  Joel Rogers, The Nation, September 18, 2001.
