Conrad Black

I may have made a mistake in renouncing my Canadian citizenship, which I have never ceased to promise to try to regain.

All emphasis in American prisons is on punishment, retribution, and disparagement, and almost none is on rehabilitation.

For decades, I have been a militant anti-declinist in terms of America's place in the world.

I am a big one for subtlety and empathy. My dad was softly spoken and didn't carry his honours and accomplishments for everyone to see.

Since the days of Greece and Rome, when the word 'citizen' was a title of honor, we have often seen more emphasis put on the rights of citizenship than on its responsibilities.

My last passport, I had North Korea, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Sudan, Liberia, Guinea... I had, like, every war-torn country in there.
