And I Find My Earlier Conclusions Strengthened
In your 23Oct94 60 Minutes broadcast, The Ugly Face of Freedom, you urged the conclusion
that Ukraine was a place where Ukrainians kill Jews. However, you found that conclusion
difficult to substantiate. The conclusion that you would have found easy to
substantiate - as Israel Roitman demonstrates by his lack of inhibition in stepping
forward - is the opposite one that Ukraine is a place where Jews kill Ukrainians. What
Israel Roitman demonstrates is not only that Jews tortured and murdered Ukrainians, but
also that even today, even in Canada, they continue to view the torture and murder of
Ukrainians as their right, and they recount how they did so not with self-doubting
guilt, but with self-righteous pride.
To Israel Roitman, a Ukrainian fighting for Ukrainian independence was, and continues to
be, a "veritable beast," and the chief effect of your broadcast was to demonstrate to
the world that your own opinion is not much different.

Morley Safer Letter 15 27Jul99 Who did Leonid Wolf murder?
Although you have lost all claim to journalistic competence and integrity, at least you can
console yourself with not being alone and unappreciated. Indeed, you are a valued
member of a large and successful team. Grigory Luchansky, Vadim Rabinovich, and
Leonid Wolf undoubtedly know of your work, and they thank you for it.
