Letter: In Brief
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.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: You can solve Clinton's problems and the Irish decommissioning logjam in one blow: have a White House lawn ceremony where, with General De Chastelain, Adams, Trimble and Tony Blair present, somebody hands Clinton a bag of republican Semtex.
This way, Irish republicans have given nothing to the Ancient Foe, but only to a third party who has helped them get a fair hearing. Clinton probably has the clout to get Irish republicans to deliver something. So doing, he would restore some of the lustre of his presidency that American Republicans have tarnished.
