Dear NPR,

I just endured the Neo-Con Bush apologist David Frum's speak regarding Bush commission investigating pre-war intelligence. The Presidents commission on the intelligence is an obvious white wash, why else would Bush appoint Judge Silverman, who is most famous for letting Oliver North off the hook? Rather than being independent, the commission is completely irrelevant because people want to know before the election, not after. The President lied to us, repeatedly; and made war based on those lies; this is an urgent matter!

America knows that the Bush white house exaggerated, manipulated and simply lied about Iraq in order to rush to war based on plans originated from people like Mr Frum and his friends. This war of US world domination is spelled out in the ironically titled "An End to Evil". This blueprint for perpetual war against every Islamic nation is a dangerous document. These plans existed well before
the terrorist attacks of 9/11. They have made a world war out of what should have a targeted operation against Al Quaeda.

This war hungry man, David Frum, should be the subject of a pointed rebuttal, not given a forum for spreading his violent ideas. Why doesn't NPR put an 'end to evil' and allow someone else on?

Why do you let David Frum speak unchallenged on NPR? We have Fox, MSNNC, and Larry King for sycophantic non-news right wing propaganda.

David Frum is too close to the Neo Con cabal that started this war in Iraq to be a journalist or commentator on NPR! Look at his crazy book, adopted by the Bush White House as gospel. Recall these choice quotes on various topics from the ironically titled "An End to Evil":

THE WAR ON TERROR - "Has only just begun." "There is no middle way for Americans: It is victory or holocaust."

MILITANT ISLAM - Vast hoard of Arabs, possibly numbering in the millions, bent on world domination. They intend to "fasten unthinking, unquestioning slavery" on the mind of Western Civilization.

THE MIDDLE EAST - "Fetid Swamp" crawling with "venomous vermin" America must cast it all in the flames. "The toughest line is the safest line"

ON IRAN - "The regime must go"
ON GERMANY - "fair weather friend" not to be trusted
ON FRANCE - an unfriendly country "gleefully smashed the alliance"
ON ISRAEL - "Everything that Europeans think a state should not be: proudly nationalist, supremely confident, willing and able to use force to defend itself - alone if need be."

DARK PLACES ON EARTH - where "terrorists skulk and hide" eligible for an Iraq-like invasion: "Lebanon, Sierra Leone, Colombia, Venezuela, Paraguay, Brazil, Zimbabwe, Syria, Yemen, Somalia, N. Nigeria" The authors are clearly out of their minds. This is a recipe for disaster, far from ending evil, Frum creates it with his war of unending misery.

AMERICAN CIVILIAN POPULATION- Must be prepared to accept huge losses. The protection of American civilians is not important as killing Satanic Islamists. The authors cite George Patton: "Nobody ever won a war by caring for his wounded. He won by making the other poor SOB care for his wounded."

Frum and Perle's world of death and apocolypse should be exposed and condemned not giving legitimacy on NPR. Shame on you! NPR

3. Requesting background and context, please.

Which NPR show? Who interviewed him, or was he just talking?

My local NPR has a weekly show called "Left, Right and Center" and it's like Crossfire but without all the yelling and interrupting. The show has Rober Scheer for the left, David Frum for the right, Arianna Huffington for the center, and Matt Miller mediating.

Now that's what I call "fair and balanced."

4. It was on All Things Considered

supposedly a mainstream flagship news program. And he comes on all the time for "commentary". Balderdash and propaganda more like!
