Here's an excerpt of what Inquirer publisher Brian Tierney had to say about Chris Satullo's column in an interview Thursday with Dom Giordano on WPHT-AM (1210) Radio:

"I just don't see how Guantanamo . . . somehow takes away the greatness of America, and that [it] somehow takes away . . . our embracement of freedoms and our bringing freedoms over the course of our history around the world . . .

"On the Fourth of July, it's a good time to recall what Oliver Wendell Holmes said . . . [that] the greatness of America comes not in giving freedom of speech to things that we like but to give freedom of speech to things that we hate."
