6. David Schuster is one of the rare ones ... a REAL journalist.

I've respected his candor and professionalism for years ... even though he doesn't suffer fools gladly. When the choice is between INTEGRITY and being somewhat 'rude,' he chooses INTEGRITY. For far too many, INTEGRITY is the first virtue to be jettisoned in approaching the Devil to sell a soul.

I'll also mention Richard Engel ... someone I'd nominate for the Edward R. Murrow award. I'm constantly impressed with his reporting from Middle Eastern countries. He not only speaks Arabic, he understands and respects the people with whom he interacts. As an American, I like "best foot forward" approaches ... and Richard Engel is truly elegant.
