Letters to the Editor

Do not go gentle.....
Ebonius, I don't think it's a waste of time at all for you to articulate, as so many on the Salon boards do, the bizarre unfolding of this American tragedy. I've noticed recently more "cross-talk" in the letters and welcomed it, as it inches us closer to a sort of concensus and reinforces the striking humanism underneath most of the digital criticism of Bush and his handlers. It would feel so much more threatening without seeing all the wild and alert letters.
The situation is indeed both unprecedented and totally alarming, and deserves full disclosure 24/7. Having rational, sharp, humane voices like Tim Grieve and Sydney Blumenthal and letter-writers like you and others on these pages is a tremendous achievement. I don't think the choir can hear enough of it - makes the singing out sound louder and better and truer every day.
