In time they'll all be dead
Tom Wicker called his book about Attica A TIME TO DIE. Malcolm Bell's book about the cover-up that followed (an is still on-going) could be called "In Time They'll All Be Dead" if it were ever reissued. It's a through and always timely study from the inside of how governments are able to keep their "dirty big secrets" from the public. Those who work in prison and prisoners have both waited for over 30 years for the full story to emerge from the horror of the events in 1971. If and when the truth ever does emerge, all who had any direct stake in the matter will probably be dead. Bell's book is as timely as ever as we search for the truth about what is really happening in Iraq today.
