| Quotes: |
"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 was in the courtroom in Baghdad for the trial of Saddam Hussein. When he first came in for his first hearing, he arrived in shackles and it was the most riveting spectacle that anyone had seen in recent memory. I was the only independent journalist let into the court. |

“I was reporting on the ground from Iraq, on the misadventures of the Bush administration into Iraq; and I was reporting on the rise of the insurgency, which became the precursor to ISIS. It was called: AQIM, which at that point was Al Qaeda in Mesopotamia. I remember our reporting were dismissed out of hand by the likes of defense secretary [Donald] Rumsfeld and the entire Bush administration. They poo-pooed the notion that there was an insurgency growing up against the U.S. occupation there. That was a mistake because they failed to recognize it and deal with it, and so it became a very strong insurgency, and to a large extent had the reverberating negative impact on politics and military up until today.”
