I’ve been an investigative reporter for a long time, and almost always, the government says that [‘you can’t publish that because of the national security risk’] when you write a story.

Journalists have no choice but to fight back because if they don't, they will become irrelevant.

I wrote Pay Any Price as my answer to the government's campaign against me.
