Do you feel at all represented by your elected officials? Did you vote for them?
If not, why would you accept the burden of guilt for their actions?
A relative handful of people made all the torture decisions for us. I don't think I want them hiding behind the flag, or me.

Personally it varies depending on the official. I think at some level we do bear some responsibility for those who represent us, I don't necessarily believe that crosses into guilt as much it does a call to action. The corrupt and unethical rely on a combination of apathy and normalisation in order to get away with their actions. > A relative handful of people made all the torture decisions for us. I don't think I want them hiding behind the flag, or me. I want them pushed out from behind the flag and into a jail cell.
