My letter is in response to the article Ms. Boulen had published last Friday. I must say that I am appalled and ashamed at the ignorance of both Mr. Ellsberg for his opinions, and Ms. Boulen for having the audacity for even considering his comments. Why Ms. Boulen would you as an AMERICAN, applaud the works of a man who has “leaked” secret information from our nation’s past (also know as the Pentagon Papers)? Why would you as an AMERICAN flood bright minds at our University with silly opinions about our Commander In Chief? Why would you as an AMERICAN fail to recognize the administration (the Clinton Administration) that has our armed forces in a long stay in Kosovo and Bosnia? Why would you as an AMERICAN fail to support President Bush as he tries to make living for you and other Americans safe? I wish that people like you and Mr. Ellsberg would consider thinking outside your own “sandbox” and look at the large world picture: Saddam Hussein is a man the world cannot trust, he is a man who will be threat to the world if he has nuclear arms at his disposal, he is a man that kills his own citizens, he is a man that skews the beleifs of Islam for his own gain, and lastly Ms. Boulen he is the man that wants the country that you live on to cease existing. Please consider the information that you decide to print in the name of Boston University.
