“I have never sought to be objective about death squads in El Salvador, massacres in Iraq, or Serbian sniper fire that gunned down unarmed civilians, including children, in Sarajevo. How can you be neutral about the masters and profiteers who lie and disassemble to hide the crimes they commit and the profits they make? And finally, how can you be objective about those who are responsible for this suffering?” –Chris Hedges
