Feedback: Risen, Dia de los Tres Reyes
Subject: A Frank Exchange of Ideas
Brian -- I was truly offended when you referred to an anonymous Amazon review to "balance" your interview with James Risen.
It is a sad day when a journalist who is doing his job and finds evidence of administration law-breaking is paired with "D. Donaldson" who calls Risen a traitor and refers to my part-time employer as "The New York Slimes." I don't think it elevates the discourse and it shows me that you are working with some sort of political correctness calibrator that is nothing short of loony. To be frank, I was shocked to hear you read that slur in your own voice.

Subject: From the other:
Risen's answers are totally self-serving.
Does he think that his leak was less injurious to national security than the Plame leak?
My heart bleeds for Abu Zubaydah. God, what a comprehensive capitulating performance! What's the next book, "AlQaeda Freedom Fighters"?
We want: secret prisons, warrantless surveillance, whatever it takes.
Everything he is whining about, we are for. If his viewpoint prevails, we are doomed.
Question: is he preparing for jail time?
