Our blindness is voluntary. In an overheating world, literally and figuratively, complacent citizens shape whatever reality suits them best.

What's the point of having a discussion with someone when you already know the outcome? "So, what did you think of your boy Obama's speech the other night?" I was asked on the train.

The American public has a right to know what our fighting men and women are doing in our name, and what is happening to them. And as citizens, we have a responsibility to look, even when it shocks and discomfits us.

There can be no denying the story the photo tells. It forces us to confront through a young man's violent death the ugly, bloody reality of a war.

I chronicled the controversy over a photograph shot in Afghanistan that captured the moments after a U.S. Marine was mortally wounded by a grenade. It's fascinating to look at one case study.

Robert Feinberg is the "whistleblower" who accuses Chris Dodd of receiving "sweetheart deals" on his home mortgage. His statements and stolen company documents represent the only direct evident in Rep. Issa's misleading report.

There's ironclad proof that Sen. Dodd's accuser in a mortgage scandal lied from the start. But some reporters aren't interested in facts that undercut the scandal narrative.

I'm impressed with Richard Pyle for sticking with the same company for 49 years, for having such a sharp memory, and for being the cliched Irascible, Gruff Newsman that future cub reporters will never meet.
