This is an article about something profound, which some people have difficulty swallowing. Some will spit it back in your faces. But we believe it is an important component of healthy free speech, of achieving the climax of human democracy. (No, this is not about Section 377.)
A couple of readers have asked us if it is possible to be credible without revealing our names.
The answer is YES.
Remember Watergate in the USA? It was reported by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein of The Washington Post.
But the most important figure in Watergate did not reveal his name at the time. He was only known as DEEP THROAT.
Imagine what would have happened if the American people had written off Watergate only because DEEP THROAT did not reveal himself.
Ask yourself what the real agenda is, when people write off a commentator because of anonymity. To say the anonymous cannot be credible, is to say Watergate should not have succeeded. We might still be having a Nixon Regime in Washington today.
