Yes, another voice is silent. Thank God there are more like himBorn in 1934 in Riverton, New Zealand, Peter Arnett later naturalized as an American citizen and had lived in southern California since 2014.
Edith Lederer, a former colleague who still works at AP, told the agency: "Peter Arnett was one of the greatest war correspondents of his generation - intrepid, fearless, and a beautiful writer and storyteller.
"His reporting in print and on camera will remain a legacy for aspiring journalists and historians for generations to come."

For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

Re: Another voice stilled
A good friend of a good friend recently died - I'm not going to identify him because my friend has not given me permission to do so. He was a war photographer, one of the best. You wouldn't know his name, but if I posted some of his photos I am certain that some of you would recognize two or three of them.
As Meade said: I am glad there are more like him. I am glad that there are people who run towards gunfire so that the rest of us can see how unglamorous war is. How normal people like you and me who want a better life for our children can be caught up in it, and they do not carry the hatred that their leaders tell them to: nevertheless they pay the price in blood and sweat and treasure and terror and lost dreams.
War sucks. Arnett knew that and my friend's friend knew that.
