Richard Perle go home!
Good article in the Hartford Advocate. It inspired me to write a letter:
I read in the Hartford Advocate that you have invited Richard Perle to join your board and I must admit I have one question: HAVE YOU COMPLETELY LOST YOUR MINDS?
Let me give you some facts about Richard Perle: he's one of the people who engineered our little adventure in Iraq. he's one of the leading hawks who has alienated our allies in Europe, basically turning the Iraq adventure into one funded nearly 100% by the US, by increased borrowing (that is, deficit spending). As a result of Mr. Perle's encouragement to fight a war in iraq, our social programs (or what is left of them) will get even less funding.
Mr. Perle is also dishonest: he was forced to step down as Chair of the Defense Policy Board due to conflict of interest. He was just recently caught in a quid pro quo with WorldCom over cell phone service in Iraq. He threatens investigative journalists, most recently Sy Hersh, with libel suits. Even a brief reading of Mr. Perle's oeuvre reveals a man with a deep antipathy toward civil liberties. A Straussian, he man believes in lying to the public.
You simply must reconsider having this monstrous person on your board: it is an insult to your integrity and to your intellectual underpinnings that you would endorse such an awful person.
besides, do you really want to LOOK at this fellow day in and day out? http://www.middle-east-online.com/english/?id=6490
You can see the evil seeping through his pores. For the love of God, and for love of the country, please reconsider.
Respectfully,
Brendan Skwire
