Edward Said: "Semua kata-kata yang digunakan George Bush di depan umum...

"Semua kata-kata yang digunakan George Bush di depan umum selama tahap-tahap awal krisis - "ingin, mati atau hidup," "perang salib," dll. - menunjukkan tidak begitu teratur dan dianggap kemajuan menuju membawa orang itu ke pengadilan menurut norma-norma internasional, melainkan sesuatu yang apokaliptik, sesuatu dari urutan kejahatan kriminal itu sendiri. Itu akan membuat banyak masalah, jauh lebih buruk, karena selalu ada konsekuensinya."

--- Edward Said

Versi Bahasa Inggris

All the words that George Bush used in public during the early stages of the crisis - "wanted, dead or alive," "a crusade," etc. - suggest not so much an orderly and considered progress towards bringing the man to justice according to international norms, but rather something apocalyptic, something of the order of the criminal atrocity itself. That will make matters a lot, lot worse, because there are always consequences.
