'Post' Editorial: Record loss

That crash you just heard was the sound of the Ohio Supreme Court taking a shot against open records laws. Last Tuesday, the all-Republican court determined that when public agencies hire private attorneys to compile reports, the report can be protected by attorney-client privilege.

The Right Stuff: Diplomats fail to free U.S. journalist from Iranian jail

Here in the U.S., the most important amendment of the Bill of Rights includes the freedom of the press. The press keeps the government in check by informing the public, and the public holds the government accountable on Election Day. All in all, this is a pretty good arrangement in theory, and most of the time it works, for some values of works. However, this is not the case in all countries. There are countries where sunlight is not considered the best disinfectant, and the press is not free. The Islamic Republic of Iran is one of these countries, as National Public Radio freelancer Roxana Saberi has been learning over the past few months.

Your Turn: 'Post' columnist overlooks fulfillment outside religion

Leah Hitchens' most recent column in The Post, while well-written, makes a number of dangerous assumptions that require illumination. As my own most recent letter to The Post promoted a few assumptions that needed clarification (thanks to Kevin Grimm for his wonderfully eloquent response) I feel that it is appropriate here to contribute to the discussion in an opposite direction.
