Letters to the Editor for June 16
Time for a cultinterventionAs a moderate, my opinions have been likened to snowflakes, liberal and based in emotions by the contributors to these pages on the right. Many on the right steadfastly support the disgraced ex-president, even in the presence of overwhelming evidence of his bad acts. They accuse our government of abuse of power in investigation of his acts. Facts are dismissed because they believe in him like others have followed other charismatic leaders.
