WashPost doesn't print LTTEs about Plamegate.
They must get some and I keep looking for them but I haven't seen any.

1. The Post is very picky about what it puts on the Op/Ed page.
My letter about the executive order re-interpreting the Presidential Records Act in response to Alberto Gonzales' column on it got printed, but my letter on Katrina, which was MUCH better written did not.

2. It's one thing to be picky...
it's something else to ignore letters about what will be the most important story of the year. They can't all be badly written.

3. No, in fact, the obscurity of the Plame story to date ensures that
its letter writers will be more articulate and informed, simply by virtue of their being aware of it.
