Correspondence Corner:

Minneapolis Star Tribune - 11/12/05

The naive bleeding hearts who oppose Vice President Dick Cheney's efforts to secure an exemption to the ban on the use of torture when interrogating those who are a threat to our security need to wake up to reality. This is the post-9/11 world. If some evildoer needs to be squeezed a little to obtain information that will potentially save American lives, we need to do it.

The torture of Lewis (Scooter) Libby should begin this minute and continue until he gives up every neocon-man, war profiteer, misguided zealot, shock-and-awe peddler and lying politician who participated in the conspiracy to manufacture this war in Iraq.

—GERRY MITCHELL, MINNETRISTA

Gotta love it!

3. Great LTE!
I wish we could see more bare-bones LTE's like this. I can't wait until Kersten reads this and froths at the mouth!

15. Gee, Gerry of Minnetrista, ask your corporate buddies who see fit to
deprive us of the jobs we need to we can afford to live and eat and be sheltered.

Their offshoring, offpeopling, and general contempt is surely WORSE than blowing up a building? (and that ain't good either!!) I mean, death is always nasty but few people, if given a choice, would choose death via starvation or hypothermia...

Sheesh, you can't even spell your home state.

Indeed, is that the correct spelling of Gerry, Jerry? (I don't know! I have no reason to believe so when the idiot can't even spell his own state, good grief!)
