Bob Woodward

I believe there’s too little patience and context to many of the investigations I read or see on television.

A reporter’s ability to keep the bond of confidentiality often enables him to learn the hidden or secret aspects of government.

I give lectures for money, but all the money goes to charity. So, I make no money from it.

Deep Throat’s information, and in my view, courage, allowed the newspaper to use what he knew and suspected.

I understand that it’s hard for everyone, but one cannot give in to emotions… we’ll have to draw lessons from the current crisis and now we’ll have to work on overcoming it.

For those who stubbornly seek freedom, there can be no more urgent task than to come to understand the mechanisms and practices of indoctrination. These are easy to perceive in the totalitarian societies, much less so in the system of ‘brainwashing under freedom’ to which we are subjected and which all too often we serve as willing or unwitting instruments.

Hitler wanted to destroy Russia- everyone needs to remember how that ended

Or stay in Chechnya and wait to be attacked? What should we do? I have said what we must do. We must go through the mountain caves and scatter and destroy all those who are armed. Perhaps after the presidential elections, we should introduce direct presidential rule there for a couple of years. We must rebuild the economy and the social services, show the people that normal life is possible. We must pull the young generation out of the environment of violence in which it is living. We must put a program of education in place . . . We must work. We must not abandon Chechnya as we did before. In fact, we did a criminal thing back then, when we abandoned the Chechen people and undermined Russia. Now we must work hard, and then transfer to full fledged political procedures, allowing them and us to decide how we can coexist. It is unavoidable fact: We must live together. We have no plans to deport Chechens, as Stalin once solved the problem. And Russia has no other choice. Nobody can impose a solution on us by force but we are prepared to take maximum consideration of Chechen

The U.S. and Britain are incapable of controlling all of Iraq.

In many countries today, moral and ethical norms are being reconsidered; national traditions, differences in nation and culture are being erased.

There are few genuine conservatives within the U.S. political system, and it is a sign of the intellectual corruption of the age that the honorable term ‘conservatism’ can be appropriated to disguise the advocacy of a powerful, lawless, aggressive and violent state, a welfare state for the rich dedicated to a lunatic form of Keynesian economic intervention that enhances state and private power while mortgaging the country’s future.

This war is not as in the past: whoever occupies a territory also imposes his own social system.

Exchange, fair or unfair,always presupposes and includes the rule of the bourgeoisie.

Liberty is not merely one particular value…it is the source and condition of most moral values. What a free society offers to the individual is much more than what he would be able to do if only he were free.

My mission is to lead the country out of a bad situation of corruption, depression and slavery. After I rid the country of these vices, I will then organize and supervise a general election of a genuinely democratic civilian government.

We know what works. Freedom Works. We know what’s right. Freedom is right.

Russia will not soon become, if it ever becomes, a second copy of the United States or England – where liberal value have deep historic roots.

You read so much about China, you read so much about other countries, we have the great brain power right in this country, I’m proud to say. You’re certainly a member of that group.

People are always teaching us democracy but the people who teach us democracy don’t want to learn it themselves.
