As long as a journalist tells the truth, in conscience and fairness, it is not his job to worry about consequences. The truth is never as dangerous as a lie in the long run. I truly believe the truth sets men free.

The history of American politics is littered with bodies of people who took so pure a position that they had no clout at all.

There will always be leaks; in Washington, everywhere.

In the perfect world every source could be identified, but like the man said, "It's not a perfect world."

Sure, some journalists use anonymous sources just because they’re lazy, and I think editors ought to insist on more precise identification even if they remain anonymous.

It changes your life, the pursuit of truth, if you know that you have tried to find the truth and gone past the first apparent truth towards the real truth. It's very, it's very exciting.
