It's striking how both Kurnaz and his mother are quick to curb even the faintest stirring of anti-American sentiment. After all, the two of them would certainly seem to have good reason to be anti-American. His mother recently said in an interview that she is, of course, "angry because they've imprisoned so many innocent people, who have to suffer without having done anything. But there are also plenty of nice people in the US. I can't be angry at everyone."
"As for the virtuous poor, one can pity them, of course, but one cannot possibly admire them. They have made private terms with the enemy, and sold their birthright for very bad pottage. They must also be extraordinarily stupid. I can quite understand a man accepting laws that protect private property, and admit of its accumulation, as long as he himself is able under those conditions to realise some form of beautiful and intellectual life. But it is almost incredible to me how a man whose life is marred and made hideous by such laws can possibly acquiesce in their continuance."
