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

But to be self-obsessed is simply not o.k. for the most important country in the world, the United States, which affects every other country in the world.

I was really just the tea boy to begin with, or the equivalent thereof, but I quickly announced, innocently but very ambitiously, that I wanted to be, I was going to be, a foreign correspondent.

There are some situations one simply cannot be neutral about, because when you are neutral you are an accomplice. Objectivity doesn't mean treating all sides equally. It means giving each side a hearing.

I strongly believe that journalism is one of the most noble professions, because without an informed world, and without an informed society, we are weak, we are weak.

And then theres always the crying and the weeping that we hear-children, women, even men. And these images and these sounds are always with me.

What we do and say and show really matters.
