Former Guatemalan Dictator Ríos Montt to face genocide charges for 1980s abuses
#8
Such things are so commonplace we shouldn't be surprised.

When push comes to shove, politicians and the state machinery invariably capitulate to threats, bribes or influence. The guilty are set free, the innocent killed or imprisoned.

The world is upside down.
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
Carl Jung - Aion (1951). CW 9, Part II: P.14
