Opinion: Why we choose to be Idaho Democrats

Earlier this year, my book club read “The Last Honest Man,” which profiles late Idaho Sen. Frank Church and his distinguished efforts to rein in national security agencies that were out of control in the 1970s.

Bob Kustra of the Idaho Statesman wrote that James Risen’s book “takes us back to a time when intellect and integrity won out. .... Not enough has been written about those moments in recent history when profiles in courage arose from the thicket of partisanship and abuse of power.”
