"Seventy years ago, on September 5, 1945, Wilfred Burchett’s report on
the aftermath of the Hiroshima atomic bombing was published in London’s
Daily Express. Burchett was the first Western journalist to enter
Hiroshima after the bombing and was shocked by the devastation."

Speaking truth to power all too often results in lifelong persecution,
unfortunately.  Via Muse.
