Letters to the Editor

This letter is associated with the following article:
In an alarming case, U.S. attorneys exploited post-9/11 counterterrorism policies to pursue and prosecute an environmental activist.
  • Jack Abramoff is a Terrorist

    Based on the following statement in the article:

    But the USA Patriot Act created a new category of domestic terrorism, which is defined as an offense "calculated to influence or affect the conduct of government"

    Abramoff et al should have been tried on terrorism charges in and of the fact that the offense(bribery) was definitely intended to influence the conduct of government. This being the case, I suspect that K Street is crawling with terrorists.

    Wherefore art though prosecution?
