Almost all religions peach that love is the supreme virtue... And a few spiritual teachers perceiving that we are all gifted at loving what pleases us, teach that the highest, the most edifying forms, which might ultimately save the world, involve our regard for those it is difficult to love; some of whom are our enemies.

Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich's letter to Rumsfeld asking for "records pertaining to Pentagon plans to use US Special Forces to advise, support and train Iraqi assassination and kidnapping teams." [May, 2006]
Not sure how this one snuck under my radar for so long. Dennis hits a home run, here:
"Mr. Secretary, at a news conference on January 11, 2005, you publicly stated that the idea of a Salvador option was "nonsense." Yet mounting evidence suggests that the U.S. has in fact funded and trained Iraqi assassination and kidnapping teams and these teams are now operating with horrific success across Iraq. We know that the Pentagon received funding for training Iraqi paramilitaries. [...] News reports over the past 10 months strongly suggest that the U.S. has trained and supported highly organized Iraqi commando brigades, and that some of those brigades have operated as death squads, abducting and assassinating thousands of Iraqis. [...] Mr. Secretary, in light of this evidence of U.S. support for and the existence of death squads in Iraq, what is the basis for your January 11, 2005 statement, that the idea of a Salvador option in Iraq is "nonsense"? "
