Misquotes and quotes out of context

There is nothing wrong with that quote. I believe it carries an universally valid evaluation of the civil society to make sure that no one is incarcerated without charge. Churchill put that in very precise words. His quote was in context of his citizens. How is that a misquote? I put his words verbatim I believe, I can be mistaken. If I am, then I will gladly correct it.

I think we are talking about a difference of opinion, not a misquote. If you do not like me quoting him, say so. Now it is entirely possible that the British Empire has violated their own ideals countless times in the eras, but I do not find that it dilutes the quote. You either imprisone people under the civil law or the martial law. Imprisoning them just because you feel like it outside the law is the first step on the road to totaltarianism.

What is next, I cannot quote kafka because he couldn't possible have thought about the future?
