Dear Mr. Hamilton:
I write to you in response to a report in Salon by Glenn Greenwald concerning the Attorney General's recent claim about the events of 9/11. I share Mr. Greenwald's opinion that, having accepted the responsibility of leading the 9/11 Commission, you have a continuing obligation to respond to reports that are at such glaring variance with the published report. The ongoing mendacity of the Bush Administration is undermining the Constitutional foundations of our country, and it is extremely disappointing to me, both as a citizen and a professor of politics, to witness the failure of our better leaders to respond vigorously to what are either ongoing falsehoods concerning 9/11, and/or reports of failure of security that are blamed on the FISA provisions designed to protect our rights to privacy. I ask you to reconsider your position, examine the Attorney General's statement, and either explain to the American public why this was not reported to us by the 9/11 Commission, or (as I suspect) condemn it for the lie that it is.
Sincerely,
