My Take
Whatever one makes of her politics, I find it impossible to think of Barbara Olson without a pang. A Houston-born lawyer who became a fierce, unflinching television voice, she lived by the conviction that words were worth fighting for. Then came that morning in 2001, aboard the flight that struck the Pentagon, her life cut short at forty-five. To me her story is a stark reminder that the people we argue with on screen are human beings with futures suddenly stolen. I hold her memory with quiet respect, the debates set gently aside.
