Actual Letter to the Editor:

'As a former intelligence professional, I find it interesting that, following immediately upon President George W. Bush's being singed by criticism of his office's inaction pre-9/11, there are dire warnings of new terrorist actions - "but who knows where or when." This warning without specifics is either manufactured hype to bolster the sagging ratings of our oilman in office, or an indication that it's incompetence as usual at our intelligence agencies. This is a president who blows up Afghanistan and kowtows to Arabian "royalty" when it was Saudi money and manpower that killed thousands of Americans. This is a president whose appointed lackeys declare war on the Constitution in the name of "national security," while our best and brightest are unable to provide the American public with competent threat analysis. This is not the price we pay for freedom; these are the overcharges we suffer for politics as usual.'
