When we make newsmen (or even, talking heads) afraid to raise civil liberty questions, we will be just a dictatorship with pretenses. And since Brown talked about the criticisms he received, I think he did his job very well.

Say what you will about Brown, at least he has the stones to admit when he is discussing his own opinions. Not only that, he makes no attempts to hide when he is -- as opposed to Rather, Jennings, Brokaw, Williams, Couric, Sawyer, and the myriad others behind the microphone.

I don't agree with him much of the time, but I have to respect him for at least having the courage of his convictions, and the courage to stand behind his own opinions.
