A Journalist’s ‘Actual Responsibility’
New York Times / Roger Cohen
06-Jul-2009 (2 comments)

Most of the time, like insatiable voyeurs, we do. But once a decade or so, we get undone, as if in love, and our subject has its revenge, turning the tables and refusing to let us be.

DK, in spite of your snotty bylines. There is such eleqouence in his prose but also truth. I hope that he will always show as much committment to truth as he has in his assignment in Iran.
