Senator Kerry gets some kudos in a great "letter to the Editor" .

[wisteria]

This appeared the other day in the Pittsburgh Post Gazette. It is interesting for two reasons. One, of course is that it has a lot to say about Kerry's positions in 2004. And, the paper printed it.Yes, the paper printed it. I have had letters published in this paper several times, but whenever I would give credit to Senator Kerry for something even in the smallest of comments, the paper would edit my point or not print the letter at all. I think this is a small step forward that the paper printed this person's letter.



"Instead, I'm more angry than ever. I'm more angry than ever about the loss of American life without a plan to win the peace, about the billion-dollar-per-week expense that I and my children will shoulder for decades to come, and about how the leaders in our country, until recently, were claiming success, that all was well and that we were winning.

The Iraq Study Group has helped more to see the Emperor's New Clothes ("Report Repudiates Bush's Diplomatic, Military Moves," Dec. 7). But interestingly, many of their findings were touted by John Kerry during the 2004 election. The transcript from the Sept. 30, 2004, presidential debate clearly shows John Kerry calling for working with neighbors within the region, focusing on training Iraqis and citing the very real threat of civil war in Iraq. Sound familiar?"
