"[In 1629, John Winthrop's] Massachusetts Bay Colony created its Great Seal. It depicted an Indian with a scroll coming out of his mouth. On that scroll are the words 'Come over and help us.' The British colonists were thus pictured as benevolent humanists, responding to the pleas of the miserable natives to be rescued from their bitter pagan fate."- Noam Chomsky, The Torture Memos and Historical Amnesia.
