Yes, and Steve Schmidt is a loser, to some. Nevertheless Schmidt has a free to read essay titled “Warning” in which he quotes Avner Less, Israel’s Chief Interrogator, the only official who spoke to Eichman during the process that put that monster to his death. They spent hundreds of hours in interrogation.
[The format does not allow for cut and paste. What follows is my approximation of Schmidt’s writing and quotes attributed to Avner Less].
“Less was asked if the experience changed his perspective on anything.
Less responded that there are Adolph Eichmans all around us. That they are everywhere. Less said “they are dormant in a democracy.” He went on to say that in a “dictatorship of the left or right, they become deadly in an instant.””
A chilling, terrifying, thought.
Precluding such horrors being released on these shores is paramount, and no legal act to that end can rightly be labeled extreme. In fact, failure to acknowledge the danger we face is complicity.
