my letter to the editor

this is what i wrote in for publishing by my hometown paper, the globe-gazette:

I'm wondering, would the Globe have endorsed George Bush Jr. had they known the following:

1. that Mr. Bush knew Saddam Hussein was no threat to our country months prior to invading;

2. that Mr. Bush decided to use force to overthrow him regardless; and

3. that Mr. Bush was 'fixing' the intelligence to sell the impending invasion to the American public.

Now that we know the truth with the release of the Downing Street Memos, and we continue to lose dozens of soldiers A WEEK in the same war Mr. Bush announced as being mission accomplished over two years ago, is there any doubt to the testament that Mr. Bush suckered half the American population, and obviously one small town newspaper?
