To the Editor
Oddly enough in the letters to the editor forum, as a subscriber I'd actually like to address the editor(s) at Salon:
What is this piece doing here? Although it's in the book section, it's not a book review, yet it's not journalism, either. It's a hodgepodge of error, innuendo, name calling, logical fallacy, and uninformed opinion. Sure, it mentions Iyer's book a few times, but only as a launchpad for the author's superficial spew. What possessed you to publish this?
The issues confronting the Tibetan people are deadly serious. Didn't you notice? Yet the first feature article Salon puts up after two weeks of violence is this? This story deserve serious attention from someone who is up to the task, knows what they are talking about, or has the ability to interview those who do. Why is Salon wasting its time and our money with this kind of sophomoric drivel? You should be ashamed.
Please give us something better. Soon.
