Letter: Trial by jury
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Sir: Nato got into this mess because the UN proved impotent in Bosnia and the issue of Kosovo was pusillanimously fudged at Dayton. There was a subsequent lack of political will to anticipate and prevent the inevitable ethnic cleansing of Kosovo. There will be more civilian casualties from Nato bombing, though probably fewer than from a ground invasion. There is now no other way out.
The news media's masochistic obsession with Nato's failures is unhelpful and exploitative.
