1. R. D. Laing:

   When I certify someone insane, I am not equivocating when I write that he is of unsound mind, may be dangerous to himself and others, and requires care and attention in a mental hospital. However, at the same time, I am also aware that, in my opinion, there are other people who are regarded as sane, whose minds are as radically unsound, who may be equally or more dangerous to themselves and others and whom society does not regard as psychotic and fit persons to be in a madhouse.

2. Eliot Engel:

It holds Iran directly responsible for abuses committed by armed groups under a new-fangled theory that United States would not want to see applied to our support for armed forces including the Saudi bombing campaign in Yemen and the Syrian Kurdish forces' treatment of detainees.

   When you think about it, making entry -- announced or unannounced -- is very high risk, you're going through a' fatal funnel,' where the bad guy could fire rounds blindly at a doorway and have a chance of hitting us. If we don't have to go through, we don't want to. Who benefits from making an entry ? The answer is the bad guy. So we'd say, that's a tactically unsound decision.
