If you've got 6 minutes to spare, you might want to take a look at this old Colbert Report interview with one Neal Katyal, who is a lawyer who defended some Gitmo detainees in court. I only post it here because of this little moment at the end, where--since apparently Katyal helped Al Gore's side in the fateful Gore v. Bush case--Colbert asked him "how that went".
Katyal responds that he kicks himself, thinking that if only he had tried to help Bush, Gore might have become President. To me that was just so heart-rending. This is a guy who obviously loves his country and the fundamental principles its based on (what is this country based on?), and who feels like he failed his country as a defender of those principles.
