William Rivers PittWilliam Rivers Pitt (born 1973) is a liberal essayist and managing editor of the left-wing commentary website Truthout.org, as well as a frequent contributor on the Internet forum Democratic Underground under the username "WilliamPitt." He is also the author of the books War on Iraq: What Team Bush Doesn't Want You to Know (2002), The Greatest Sedition is Silence: Four Years in America (2003), and the forthcoming Our Flag, Too: The Paradox of Patriotism (available in August from Contex Books). Pitt was born in Washington, D.C., and lived several years in Alabama (where his father, Redding Pitt, now chairs the state Democratic Party) before eventually moving to Boston. He was educated in English literature at a small Jesuit college in New England, and after graduation spent two years in San Francisco practicing law. Currently, Pitt teaches English literature, journalism, grammar and history at a small private school outside of Boston. Pitt had been writing about politics off and on for years, but became devoted to the practice during the impeachment trial of former President Bill Clinton. Since President George W. Bush took office on January 20, 2001, Pitt has worked to fight what he describes as "the rising tide of conservative fundamentalism in American government." External links *Truthout.org website
