I Was Not A Public - I

Secrecy Is The Freedom Tyrants Dream Of.

Having Lost Faith In All Else, Zealots Have Nothing Left But A Holy Cause To Please A Warrior God. They Win If We Become Holy Warriors, Too; If We Kill The Innocent As They Do; Strike First At Those Who Had Not Struck Us; Allow Our Leaders To Use The Fear Of Terrorism To Make Us Afraid Of The Truth; Cease To Think And Reason Together, Allowing Others To Tell What's In God's Mind.

I Believe Democracy Requires A 'sacred Contract' Between Journalists And Those Who Put Their Trust In Us To Tell Them What We Can About How The World Really Works.

When The Public Loses Faith In Democracy's Ability To Solve The Problems It Has Created For Itself, The Game's Almost Over. And I Think We Are This Close To Losing Democracy To The Mercenary Class.

Hyperbole Was To Lyndon Johnson What Oxygen Is To Life.
