The truth should suffice by Thomas Lowell
The BBC's orders to avoid ex dictator terms expose a neutrality misunderstanding. Objectivity is honest truth seeking, not balanced preconception. Historical cases show truth emerges without preconceived balance, as Murrow and Conquest illustrate. Lowell, Hoover Institution senior fellow, argues for truth over neutrality.

Evil Cannot Be Accommodated In Iran Policy
Cal Thomas argues the Bush administration sought to use Iran earthquake aid as a diplomatic lever but Tehran rejected pledges of closer ties. He cautions that humanitarian aid should not mask the goal of defeating “the axis of evil,” warning that regime change and hard-line tactics may be required. He recalls Reagan era policy and notes Iran’s anti American stance and mullahcontrolled media while endorsing a strong, decisive approach.
