[Oberon]

"If you have done nothing wrong, comrade, you have nothing to fear."

- Lavrenti Beria, head of the NKVD under Joseph Stalin, 1899-1953

I am surprised to see this in the Sun Times. A good read in any case.

Actually, Beria responded to a foreigner's observing that innocent people were arrested as often as the guilty, thus:

"Of course we arrest the innocent!! If we arrested only the guilty, the innocent would have nothing to fear!"
