Christopher Hitchens
“As the many male victims of rape in the regime's disgusting jails can testify, this state-run pathology of sexual repression and sexual sadism is not content to degrade women only.”
Christopher Hitchens, Hitch 22: A Memoir

Karl Braungart
“Actually, we’re with the United States Army stationed in Germany. My friend Paul comes here about every two to three weeks to visit his Dutch girlfriend.”
Karl Braungart, Lost Identity
