'We are in Liberia, the West’s poster child for postwar democracy building. Our president, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, is a Nobel laureate who is celebrated by...Bill Gates, Warren E. Buffett and Bono and has positioned herself as a champion of a free press. Having spent the past week in jail and now under armed guard in a hospital since I contracted malaria, I’m not feeling particularly championed.'
