I think you hit the nail on the head: "We all can hear the voice, if we are human." I am coming to the conclusion that Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, etc. are no longer to be classified as human, if they ever were. In that case, the best thing to do would be to destroy them, the way we destroy any mad and dangerous animals. They have sold their souls (or integrity, to use a less loaded word) for power, forgetting that they were elected to serve. Anyone who so desperately wants the power of the presidentship should on no account be allowed to do the job.
As for telling right from wrong, looking to them for such a decision is pretty much the same as asking an imbecile to explain the theory of relativity or quantum mechanics; they are inherently incapable of doing so. All they know is their own wants; anything they want is "right," and everything else is "wrong." Most people grow out of this stage before they enter primary school. This shows the true mental age of these people.
Your husband has shown a level of moral courage that these people could never aspire to, let alone understand. He is showing them, just how far they have fallen, and how far from redemption they truly are. That is why they punish him.
I hope the trials and tribulations of your husband and yourself will soon be over.
