In one of my favorite plays, Tom Stoppard's Rock'n'Roll an officer from the Ministry of Interior says:
"We are supposed to know what's going on inside people. That's why we're the Ministry of the Interior." This phrase sounds to me like a perfect motto for Georgia's Ministry of Interior under Vano Merabishvili.




As the time will pass and years of Saakashvili's rule will become harder to remember, we will know more about all the evil that Georgian Ministry of the Interior, our Ministry of Love in Orwellian terms, had committed. There will be so many events to recount and so many issues to explore for those that study power and various methods for abusing it. We will know the truth behind all manipulated video materials and fabricated recordings that form the basis for so many arrests; we will know the true cause of death of Zurab Jhvania, we will know what happened in the August 2008; will will know what happened on November 7, 2007. We will learn so many terrible things that it will be harder for us to forgive ourselves that we used to be so naive and clueless. Pinochet and Fujimori thought that such time would not come in their lives. But it did for them. So it will come for Merabishvili as well.
