A Letter to the Editor

In my local paper Thursday May 20:

Repeat images of 9-11 not of Iraqi prisioners
I know we should hold ourselves higher than the animals we are watching. I do not have any compassion for these terrorists who are being held and 'humiliated'. I don't care. I hold "60 Minutes" responsible for any additional Americans killed by terrorists.

I think we should be showing daily the planes flying into the World Trade Center towers. We should never forget the horrors of that day. I am a supporter of the president and I am sorry that a few incidents have sullied the reputation of the many soldiers who are serving. How do you think our people would be treated if they were held?
Bonnie Barbieri, Ann Arbor

I can't speculate on the intelligence or age of this person or what her news sources happen to be, however, the attitude and misunderstandings are far too common. How did we get here and how do we move beyond? Here's a start.
