And you shouldn't find torture-apologists among the intellectual 
on-campus right, but you do. Meanwhile, there are many intellectuals 
throughout the spectrum who denounce human rights violations regardless 
of who commits them. Jurgen Habermas, for example, has criticized not 
just Heidegger but contemporary apologists among German historians (many 
on the right, e.g. Ernst Nolte). --PR
