Russ Baker, whom I've met and with whom I've enjoyed numerous conversations (real, surreal, and electronic), is on the side of the angels. His work on the Bush family is in many respects groundbreaking.
As I noted when I introduced him at a recent reading, Russ represents invaluable connective tissue between mainstream journalism and deep political analysis. And while it's far too early to anticipate the direction(s) of the blood flow between these organs of communication, it nonetheless is safe to conclude that the Baker canon to date supports and preserves our shared, ongoing labors.

If an individual, through either his own volition or events over which he had no control, found himself taking up residence in a country undefined by flags or physical borders, he could be assured of one immediate and abiding consequence: He was on his own, and solitude and loneliness would probably be his companions unto the grave.

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
