Zitat des Tages von Matt Apuzzo:
The Nisour Square shooting is a signature point in the Iraq war, one that inflamed anti-American sentiment abroad and contributed to the impression that Americans were reckless and unaccountable. The Iraqi government wanted to prosecute the security contractors in Iraq, but the American government refused to allow it.
Good reporting is good reporting, regardless of the newness or oldness of the medium.
We don't want our government building files on what people think about their government.
Muslim Americans in general tend to be an underrepresented political group.
We're a country that allowed waterboarding and indefinite detention, and we're a country where the NYPD Intelligence Division has police files on what Muslims think of the State of the Union address.
We have institutionalized a drone program where the oversight is almost completely internalized.
We don't push back hard enough against the government. We could use, the country in general could use a more adversarial press corps, especially when it comes to matters of national security.
