But 17 years ago, I arrived at CNN with a suitcase, with my bicycle, and with about 100 dollars.

Im not an American but I have always had the outsiders respect for the American people and the American way.

Because if we the storytellers don't do this, then the bad people will win.

And one thing that I always believed and that I knew for certain was that I could never have sustained a personal relationship while I worked this hard, or while I was that driven this intensely by the story.

My view is that when lies become mixed up with the truth, it's a very dangerous world.

And I believe that good journalism, good television, can make our world a better place.

I have always thought it morally unacceptable to kill stories, not to run stories, that people have risked their lives to get.
