Letter: Even-handed?
To the editor:
On June 14, the headline on the Saturday Column was “Declining Iraq situation reflects poorly on Obama.” The opening line of the column asks, “Who calls the shots, and how are major decisions made in Washington?”A reasonable question that raises another.
During the years 2003-09, did you write a similar column with a similar headline about the decisions made by Bush and Cheney that led to the deaths of 4,000 American troops (and 100,000-plus Iraqi citizens)?
Doesn’t responsible journalism demand this kind of fact-based, even-handed approach to issues that affect all Americans
