No one should think that's good enough.”
Opinion: Why I'm handing in my Pentagon press pass
Tom Bowman has held his Pentagon press pass for 28 years. He says the Pentagon's new media policy makes it impossible to be a journalist, which means finding out what's really going on behind the scen...

I was invited to give some remarks tonight for the 5th anniversary of Fratelli Tutti. I'm grateful to Assumption Church, the Servite community, and the Archdiocese of Chicago's immigration ministry for the chance to think out loud about this.
