Few are focusing on this problem, although many offer lip service. It took quite a while, but after you recognized the veracity of my factual assertions, I believe that your approval of my posts indicated a certain unspoken understanding of a common goal. In my estimation, you are a driven man and deserve every opportunity to create a better world through your investigative reporting. My only wish is that you stay strong and stay true. In the words of the recently departed Alexander Cockburn: "The weapon of the advocate is the sword of the soldier, not the dagger of the assassin."    Best of luck, Heath.        Heath Haussamen:

Thank you for publishing my essays and letting me in on the conversation it gave me a healthy shove in the right direction. In a perfect world we would all be pursuing the same or similar goals. This is, as you well know, not a perfect world but one defined by motives on both sides of every issue. It is, of course, those motives which define the narrative and which are not always made plain and sometimes purposefully obscured. Good journalism and good editorial commentary is how we penetrate the surface and uncover motives and hidden agendas exposing them to public view. I'm looking forward to New Mexico In Depth digging into the issues and shining a bright light on what is behind the news and behind the rhetoric. I'm certain you will do that. Good luck.
