...and you are doing that here, sir, and thank you for this very persuasive argument for telling truth to power.
I am old enough to remember my joy at the release by The New York Times of The Pentagon Papers. I have celebrated June 13th every year since 1971, and I will continue to do so until another Guy Fawkes rises. Hail Ellsberg!
I do not bother reading fictive news prose and utter editorial nonsense from our establishment idiots, those with and without Pulitzer Prizes. (SCREW magazine was more honest overall.)
