"Freedom of speech and exchange of information are ... the currency on which global commerce, politics, and
culture increasingly depend. If the peoples of the Muslim world are to
participate in the global marketplace of goods and ideas, they will need
access to information, freedom of expression, and a voice for women and
disenfranchised minorities. That, more than any number of advertisements
about American values, is what will bring light to the darkness from which
terrorism has come."
— David Hoffman, President of Internews Network in a Foreign
Affairs article, "Beyond Public Diplomacy"
