Speaking of things I've been meaning to post, and since they don't appear to be picking it up, here's a letter I sent to the Seattle Times:
*^*^*
To the editor:
How fascinating to read that the Bush Administration (and Mr. Cheney especially), wanting to pry ever more deeply into Americans' private matters, obstinately insists on creating more and more secrets for itself. You'd think this self-proclaimed faith-based Administration had never heard of the Golden Rule. To remind them: If you want citizens to be more open, the Administration itself must be forthcoming. If the Administration is needlessly secretive, it only fuels speculation "secrets" are being created to cover-up deeds that are illegal, unethical, embarrassing, or all three. As supporters of the NSA spy program remind us, If the Administration has done nothing wrong, it should have nothing to hide.
Sincerely,
etc.
