Mideast Ground War Begins

Just finished reading your editorial “The Role of the Press in Wartime” (Feb. 18). The press in both wartime and in peacetime continues to perform very well. Its function is vital to the nation at all times. We desperately need the continued asking of the “hard and probing questions” if our government is to adequately represent and govern our society.

Americans should be closing ranks in support of our so very effective free press.
