This is an interview with Walter Cronkite just prior to the unilateral decision by the U.S. to attack Iraq. It is the first time the interview has been published. www.truthdig.com/report/item/20090720_opinions_walter_cronkite_never_aired/?ln... “The press always has to dig and delve for what it can find. Its only purpose is to share that information with the American people. In this democracy of ours, we should be on guard that we are not denied the facts about what the government is doing in our name. That is the basis of a democracy and particularly one that proclaims freedom of speech and press. We cannot let a veil of secrecy be pulled around the official government in Washington.”
