From the Balkans to Africa, from Asia to the Middle East, we have witnessed the weakening or absence of effective governance leading to the ravaging of human rights and the abandonment of longstanding humanitarian principles.

True freedom is not advanced in the permissive society, which confuses freedom with license to do anything whatever and which in the name of freedom proclaims a kind of general amorality.

Such an attitude is destructive of freedom and peace.

I've talked with people of stature-of military and government credentials and position-and heard their stories, and their desire to tell their stories openly to the public.

It is called a "hypothesis," but the word "hypothesis," though euphonious, dignified and high-sounding, is merely a scientific synonym for the old-fashioned word "guess."

When it is understood that "hypothesis" means "guess," people will inspect it more carefully before accepting it.
