David Simon, responding to Maciej (responding to David Simon):
And if I sound exasperated with other liberal voices on this issue it’s because their barricades are in the wrong place, facing the wrong way, defending the wrong moral and legal terrain.

You might be able to get away with David Simon's first, but definitely read Maciej's post and this.
