My letter was published in the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
I wrote this shortly after Bush's speech at Fort Bragg, but it was published today.

Online edition only, NetLets:

Courage, indeed

President Bush's plea for "courage" to stay the course in Iraq is something else.

Bush is afraid to tell us the real reasons we were attacked on 9/11. He's afraid to tell us the real reasons he got us into the Iraq war.

If he wants courage, let him start by showing some.

5. I think my paper is printing my similar letter soon...
I'll post it here at DU if they do. I received a verification email early today from the Louisville Courier-Journal and responded with my "Yes." I'll post my letter here, with a link, if it's printed.

10. I questioned his veracity...
and suggested the American people have caught onto his lying pattern.

6. you're beyond hat trick on the ltte's - you've had a ton published!!!
I do enjoy your letters - seeing them in print, next to other, often longer letters, makes me think yours attract more readers.
