Life-and-Death Democracy

Thank you for the powerful cover piece, "The Burden of Truth" (November-December 2003), an interview with Ray McGovern and David MacMichael, former CIA analysts and operatives who value truth and justice more than life itself. They are daring patriots and radical followers of Jesus. Too bad you couldn’t run the unedited transcript, which packed even more of a wallop. Thanks for making it available on your Web site.

I would argue that this may well be the single most significant piece of journalism this year. I hope you support it with a saturation marketing/ promotion program so that what these heroic men have to say penetrates the widest possible audience and stirs passionate discourse.
