When America goes to war, all of America must go. Wartime is when we need our collective judgment. The way “we all” go to war is through independent reporting. This chapter is entitled “Duty” because, in a democracy, war demands each of us to do his or her part. Reporters have the duty to go to war. The government and military have the duty to support them. The public has a duty to watch the reporting, understand the facts and debate the policy.
