Letters to the Editor

This letter is associated with the following article:
The list of the governments that have persecuted journalists The Washington Post hails those reporters who face grave danger from the Taliban and the governments of Cuba, Uganda, Zimbabwe and the U.S.
  • So that Washington Post article ends with this:

    Those of us who can take such freedom for granted should salute these honorees and their many colleagues who risk life and liberty every day to do their jobs.

    I am not sure what to make of this. It is not as though the US government is absent from the discussion. I suppose that sentence might mean: As long as we support the US establishment on the whole, we can pick at the edges a bit and still keep our jobs.
