Great letter to PEN, and brave move by Hedges. He really has become such a moral leader and voice for moralitym justice, peace. So much so, given our 'system', I begin to fear for his 'health' as more come to hear and understand his words - and the meaning of his words and thoughts. Such a moral man.....in an immoral World and speaking Truth to Power from such an immoral Country/Empire.
