The military is trying very hard right now to put a better face on Guantanamo, and I think they actually have tried to rid some of the extreme versions of abuse that we have read about.

More quotes by Jane Mayer
Money has much more power down the ballot.
Jane Mayer
[Tom] Steyer is specifically spending money on candidates who will take action against climate change.
Jane Mayer
The great unknown in this country is where this leaves the Republican Party after this election. Will it be the party of the Kochs or will it be the party of [Donald] Trump?
Jane Mayer
Well, they are critics of the Bush administration generally on the human rights record of the administration, and in particular, they are very, very critical of this use of science.
Jane Mayer
The possibility exists that the Kochs will walk away with even more power if [Donalds] Trump's defeated.
Jane Mayer
It was our view of the worst that could befall our people if they were taken captive. So, what was fascinating to me was that somehow it appears the techniques that we have feared most in the world would be used on our people, we are using on people in our custody.
Jane Mayer
Donald Trump actually is a pretty big-government conservative. He doesn't see eye-to-eye with them [the Kochs] on trade.
Jane Mayer
[The Kochs] they hate big government.
Jane Mayer
They [the Kochs] want free trade and cheap labour. They own the second-largest private company in America, which is a huge multinational corporation. So they are on a different wavelength.
Jane Mayer
It's quite amazingly radical, what their [the Kochs] vision of America would be.
Jane Mayer
People I've interviewed say they're terrified there may be boycotts of their [the Kochs] products, which include so many household items that everybody's familiar with, things like Stainmaster Carpet and Dixie Cups and Brawny paper towels and Lycra.
Jane Mayer
I kept thinking maybe in the future editions [of Dark Money] I should sell it along with, like, some kind of, you know, Pepto Bismol or something. I wanted it to read a little bit like a thriller, so that it truly grabbed people.
Jane Mayer
There have been waves of reform in the past. I see no reason why they wouldn't happen again.
Jane Mayer
Nothing predicts future behavior as much as past impunity.
Jane Mayer
It's hard for them to run away from their record. The Kochs are businessmen.
Jane Mayer
Barack Obama was elected President in 2008 and re-elected in 2012. The natural thing would be to suggest money on the right [wing] doesn't really matter that much. The first thing you have to know is that the presidential elections are the ones where it's most difficult for money to hold sway, in that they're the most public elections.
Jane Mayer
If you have an informed electorate, it makes great choices.
Jane Mayer
So you've got these regular, middle-class voters who don't hate the government as much as the Kochs do. They're Republicans, but they still want government programs. They want Social Security, they want Medicare. They need it.
Jane Mayer
I would argue that there's been a backlash this year [2016]. They [the Kochs] pushed the [Republican] party too far right. The other thing that the backlash is against is the sense that politicians have been bought and sold.
Jane Mayer
The Kochtopus is the nickname that people who've worked for the Kochs came up with because there's so many tentacles and it likes the shadows. I really feel the first step is to provide the information.
