He is well aware of the risks they are taking on a daily basis. But I believe that journalists like Bobby, with their candid reporting from the war zone, are upholding the values that our soldiers take an oath to protect: our freedom to think and believe and to act on those thoughts and beliefs. "Whenever the people are well-informed," Thomas Jefferson wrote, "they can be trusted with their own government." Even though...
