"I was very unused to being in a room with large men, well-armed, who are continually telling me I'm lying, and that I must have done something. I told them that this thing that they were prosecuting wasn't a crime. I told them that they were on the wrong side of history; I used that phrase: I said, "You're on the wrong side of history." And they looked bored. They didn't even look angry, just bored. And it began to occur to me that we weren't having the same conversation."
