Anna The Brave

Laws help, but a free press exists only through people like Anna Politkovskaya to whom reporting truth is more important than money, comfort, safety, or even life. They are few. Even in this country with our beloved First Amendment, it is difficult to be anything but a follower. Most reporters blindly approved of our foreign policy when it was popular, and now a pile on a broken Bush. There are exceptions, but they can rarely rise above their corporate bosses. Here’s a hope and a prayer that Anna’s courage will inspire others. If it does the world will eventually be a better safer place.
Let's also remember British TV reporter Terry Lloyd.
