LETTERS Foote and Racism Dear Editor, First, I agree wholeheartedly with the gist of the May 12th Bradley report. I used the qualifier, "the gist" because I have a problem with your use of Shelby Foote as a valid source of information about Lincoln. Mr. Foote was a racist through and through although he tried very hard to hide his feelings in order not to contaminate his Civil War trilogy. You probably have not seen Foote's video interview in which he was asked "Who were the greatest men of the war?" His reply was, "Abraham Lincoln and Nathan Bedford Forrest." To equate Lincoln with Forrest is like equating Pope John-Paul II with Adolf Hitler. Forrest was the commander of Confederate troops that awful day April 12, 1864 at Ft. Pillow, when, under his leadership, hundreds of black union troops were slaughtered after they had surrendered. Fort Pillow marked one of the bleakest, saddest events of American military history. But that's not all. Forrest became the founder of the Klu Klux Klan and was its first Grand Wizard. How in the world could this "acclaimed" (your words) historian have placed Forrest and Lincoln together as the "greatest" men of the civil war is beyond me. I read Foote's history of the civil war and I watched Ken Burns' great series on PBS. I also have read Bruce Catton's triology. Finally, I was born and raised in Springfield, Illinois. Abraham Lincoln would have recoiled sharply at the thought of being compared with the likes of Nathan Bedford Forrest. Cdr. John J. Newlin, USN (Ret.) Right on Bogs Dear Editor I read your article on the Falmouth's bog controversy. Thank you for "getting it", and for having the balls to say it. I appreciate what you do.

"Proud As Punch" Dear Mr. Finucane: Love your editorials…and ‘proud as punch’ to see what you’ve done with you’re life. Keep it up. Robert Cerrati Editor’s note: Mr. Cerrati was Bill Finucane’s supervisor at a job he held while also attending college.
Into The Religious Battleground Dear Editor: While preparing for a battle with my fundamentalist friend, I found your site. Am thoroughly enjoying it and plan to re-visit often. So, thank you! Mary Magnuson,
Re:
January 2005 BR story:
Hello Editor: I've enjoyed your site today, but I have two comments to offer (if you have cited the following, and I just didn't see them, I beg your pardon): 1. I think it's important to note in your comprehensive history of the Dulles brothers and the CIA, that both Allan and John Foster were New York attorneys during the 1930s, and ostensibly the conduits between Brown Brothers Harriman, for which Prescott Bush was a principle, and the Thyssen / Hitler - Nazi alliance in Germany. Additionally, according to Kevin Phillips, in his American Dynasty, there's good reason to speculate that George H. W. Bush was a CIA asset, and his Zapata Offshore drilling company was a front used in the Bay of Pigs invasion. 2. We have not been afforded the truth about the events of September 11. There's no way that a 757 caused such little damage to the Pentagon. There's no way that the Twin Towers would have fallen in exactly the same way given the fact that the two planes hit the towers at different angles, and at different floors. However, a controlled demolition would have brought the towers down in identical fashion, and we know that Building 7 was "pulled" (the parlance for a controlled demolition) later in the early evening of September 11... How was it that there were explosive charges set at the integral joints of that building? The planning for such an activity takes weeks, and I'll hazard a guess that reputable authorities would not allow people to work in a building once such explosives have been set. At the very least, there could be no certificate of occupancy. So are we to believe that within seven hours of the so called attacks, amidst the horrific chaos of that morning, a team of demolition experts rushed into building seven, which conveniently housed CIA offices, and SEC files related to ongoing investigations, set the explosives and brought down the building? It hadn't been hit by anything. Bottomline: Who stood to gain? The answer: The president and those Project for a New American Century neo-cons within the administration, who were so hellbent on creating another "Pearl Harbor" just as they proffered in their "Rebuilding America's Defenses." Thank you for your consideration, and your efforts to uncover the lies and deceit so commiserate with the Bush Reign of Terror. Sincerely, Bob Dussault
Re: Dick Cheney’s Coarse Contemptuousness Dear Editor: Dickhead Cheney can go F… HIMSELF! In fact, he probably does. I can't for the life of me understand how in the hell the media doesn't make a huge stink out of the FACT that Halliburton has received three, count 'em THREE, no-bid contracts worth ten's of billion's since the illegal war in Iraq started. Not to mention the FACT that they were being investigated for over-charging the government (taxpayers) when handed the second (contract) as well as still being paid during said investigation. I thought that in itself was against the rules. But then I have to remind myself that this a REGIME that has absolutely no regard for rules or TELLING THE TRUTH! Great piece Mr. Finucane! Sorry I don't speak as eloquently as yourself, but if nothing else I think I do manage to make my point and convey my sentiments. Keep up the good work and GIVE ‘EM HELL! Texan Born and Bred! I live in Dallas, but I am an East Texas redneck. Wait. Make that an enlightened East Texas redneck. Michael Lee Smith Seatbelts - Ticket or Apology Dear Editor: Just wanted to say GREAT JOB on the seat belt story. I just got pulled over in my home town of Laurel Springs, NJ yesterday while on my way to my late mothers house to pick up my sister to go to my aunt's funeral. I was driving at the speed limit (25) with my older brother and happen to pass the cop sitting in the driveway of the local tavern at 8:30 in the morning 2 blocks from my mothers house and I get pulled over as I pull up in front of my mothers house. And what for, do you ask? We were not wearing our seat belts. To make a long story short, I had to apologize to the cop for being slightly upset about getting pulled over in front of My Mothers house on my way to a funeral in my own home town that my family has lived in for over 100 years, otherwise he was going to give me and my brother 2 seat belt tickets. So I had to apologize to for him pulling me over?????? All I can say is you wonder why people hate cops. They are not like they used to be… Sincerely,
Re: Is The US Treasury Being Looted By
Political Design Dear Editor: I agree with your conclusion that the Bush administration is systematically "creating massive budget deficits as quickly as possible in order to crush major American social programs and regulatory agencies." I have believed it for a good while now. While I make no pretence of knowledge or understanding, it seems to me that there must be some anticipated social and/or economic outcome which they expect to play out in their favor. Some of us who have been studying, thinking about and discussing the Peak Oil issue have reached the conclusion that it must be some version of the "Last One Standing Strategy" as outlined in Richard Heinberg's book, "Power Down." The sky-rocketing deficits are one aspect of the problem. Another aspect is the administration's apparent desire for perpetual war. Heinberg, Michael Ruppert and James Howard Kunstler, among others, describe the Iraq/Afghanistan wars and the coming Iran war as "Resource Wars." All the "social/moral" issues are pure smoke and mirrors, intended to keep our eyes off the real agenda. No one in the Bush administration cares one way or another about gays or abortions for that matter. Well, maybe as individuals some of them do, but as matters of policy priority, not at all. Take Care! (Mr) Jackie Minchew Rediscovering Democrats Dear Editor: I just read your article "Democrats Should Now Make Their Stand With Modern Populism, Not Leftist Politics" and I have to say this is an extremely well written and well thought blog. I am a republican, I used to be a democrat, and you hit the nail on the head. Those are the very reasons I left the party. Although I don't agree with many conservative/republican views I find myself more aligned with there ultimate goals and how they want this country to be (or at least how it appears to be) run. I would say if the democratic party could rediscover who they are and abandon these leftist zealots, then they would regain there dwindling support. But honestly, I don't see that happening. The party is buried waist deep in special interest groups, and the PC crowd. They need to dig themselves out, and it will take a lot of time I think... Sincerely, Travis Estes Social Security or Smoke Screen? Dear Editor: According to polls the Bush plan to "save" Social Security is not succeeding but he is very stubborn, he has very smart strategists and speech writers, Republicans control Congress and he has lots of money to spend. (I notice in today's news that congressional Democrats are beginning to hint at compromise.) It is not over. I have listened to and read the words of liberals and conservatives, of Republicans and Democrats, TV, radio, magazines and internet stuff of all shades about Social Security and private savings/investment accounts and I see more smoke screen and confusion than straight forward common sense. Is it not true that: 1. No one can predict the future but we all must try? When driving in freeway traffic don't we gamble that that big truck will not spin out and crush us? When a company invests in a new venture will a technological change make it unprofitable? Yet do not all individuals, small groups, large groups, societies, nations or the world have to make decisions based on their best guess? 2. Aren't all investments, loans, and savings just pieces of paper or collections of bits in a computer? (Isn't a $10 bill just a piece of paper?) Aren't they all gambles that they will be repaid or remain tradable for things of value? Is not the Social Security trust fund a loan to the Federal Government like that government bond in my bank deposit box? Are some of our politicians saying my bond is no good? Do those people really plan for our government's bankruptcy? Isn't a U.S. government bond the safest investment in the world? The Chinese seem to think so. Are these politicians telling the Chinese that the money they are loaning to us will not be repaid? Do they think the Chinese aren't listening? 3. Isn't it true that a person paying into Social Security is gambling on their life span? Is it not true that if they die just after retirement they collect very little but if they live to be a hundred they collect a lot? Is it not true that Social Security can afford to pay the long lived because many do not live long? 4. Is it not true that companies fail every day, with their stock becoming much less valuable than what was paid for them? Isn't everyone a specialist and very few specialize in investment strategy? Aren't stock purchases a gamble, a gamble that, even if you "win," you will very likely win less than you would with Social Security if you live to a ripe old age? WELL, WHAT DO YOU WANT TO GAMBLE ON? ARE YOU MORE INTERESTED IN GAMBLING THAT YOU MAY LEAVE YOUR HEIRS MORE "SECURE", OR GAMBLING THAT YOU WILL LIVE LONG AND THE GOVERNMENT WILL HONOR IT'S OBLIGATIONS? Sincerely, Edward George Looting The Treasury Dear Editor: I hadn't seen anything lately on
this topic and decided today to "Google" the words "treasury
looted." Up comes your editorial - aha, verification that I and others are not just
imagining this!
Since the 2000 elections and the
remarkable radical agenda personified in the form of Bush and his cronies,
some of us have had to become perpetual scholars researching these people,
their connections, their plans. We now know about the Project for a New
American Century, about efforts from as far back as the 50's to undo Social
Security…all the while every socially and politically constructed pillar of
our society ensuring broad prosperity is (now) under assault. No one person has all the answers -
most of us lack the scope of history, world economics, social dynamics and
underground collaborations that are fueling all this craziness. We saw some of it playing out in the
media…about the lack of good intelligence vs. failed intelligence on Al-Qaida
and Iraq, who gets to do intelligence in military operations, the formation of
Homeland Security that appears to have little to do with detecting threats but is mainly a
domestic spying and data mining enterprise. In other words, it's like one
gigantic ongoing black ops project being orchestrated on the entire American
population. Americans like me are trying to make
the correct assumptions about what this all means and what should we do
individually and collectively in our lives to change things. Some of us are
getting political, some of us are spreading the information (like yourself)… People are avoiding their civic duty
of voting because they think that Democrats or Republicans are alike
and won't change the unfairness and inequity in the system. During the
last election cycle, a bunch of new members in the Democratic party got
pissed and paved the way for Howard Dean to become DNC chair. This is a
direct result of fear in the erosion of our way of life and Dean was right in
how he questioned the motivation for the Iraq invasion and we all saw what
the mainstream media did to him in quashing him in Iowa. At least he is
not a Washington DC insider - which is what appeals to me the most. Now if
the rational Republicans can some how recapture their party - we might go
back to decent and realistic debate and cooperation between parties, or the
rational elements of each side coming together in a third party. Sincerely, Marge Brando Alternative is Powerlessness Dear Editor: It has taken the right wing 40 years to take power in this country and the rest of us need to learn the painful lesson that the alternative to winning is not losing, it's powerlessness. If we are ever to take back our country, we have to learn to define ourselves as patriots, not outsiders. We need to position ourselves as a moral force in the values arena, so the right to health care is a value, reproductive rights is a value, a living wage is a value, etc. Though we were defeated in 2004, it was a beginning... there are millions like us. Now we need credible candidates who can talk of community and mutuality and be credible. The stakes are too high not to try. Mary Ann Torres
Blue Voter's Views Dear Editor: To those who voted red instead of blue, I’d like to review what they have done. If you voted red, you voted for someone who will help every nation that wants democracy to achieve their goal. Your person will have our young men and women killed in every continent of the world. Is he going to help the people of China, North Korea, Cuba, Iran, Syria, Libya, Saudi Arabia and several other African states? Or just the ones he thinks he can defeat. You voted for a person who was winning a war in Afghanistan; and instead of finishing that war, opened up a new front in Iraq. By splitting his forces, he is bogged down in two places. The last general to split his forces was General Custer, and we all know what happened to him. Your man, Mr. Bush, attacked Iraq against the advice of his cabinet. He has alienated most of his western allies, and many other nations. On the home front, if he has his way, he will destroy social security. He is using some of the current funds to fight his two wars, and to furnish food, water and medical supplies to the Tsunami victims. Lets not forget that one country’s vice president told us to drop off the supplies and leave. If he doesn’t bankrupt the system this way, he surely will with his new hair brained scheme. He wants all the young workers to invest part of their income in the stock market. This of course means less money going into the social security fund to support current retirees. If the market falls, all those people who invested in it will lose their retirement funds, maybe all of it. He is not an orator. His speeches are grandiose and impossible to accomplish. He seems more concerned with world opinion and seems extremely interested in helping Mexico send legal and illegal aliens across the border to infiltrate our job market. What has he done for the people of California, Florida, Nevada and Utah who were devastated by floods, hurricanes, avalanches, and an over abundance of snow? If he has done anything, he has given them low cost loans, this to people who are Americans, and have lost everything. He is willing to spend billions of dollars to rebuild Iraq. Plus, reluctantly, money to help the countries hit by the Tsunami. None of those people seem to appreciate the gesture. Most if not all hate the United States. However, to his own people he gives low cost loans. It is my honest belief that he has already destroyed the country with his lack of foresight. If allowed to continue I doubt if the next president, Democrat or Republican, will be able to get us out of the financial mess he has created, unite the country, or regain the respect we once possessed in the world. Sincerely, Limbaugh Hypocrisy Prompts Biblical Reference Dear Editor: I read your article on Rush's drug problems. The level of
hypocrisy on the part of Rush (Limbaugh) and other Republicans stinks. Rush gets
caught abusing drugs, and every Republican and his brother says Rush has a
disease. Anyone else (and) they call the person a dangerous criminal that needs
to be locked up for 100 years. Knowlton’s Sign At Issue Dear Editor: This will be my second and last attempt to establish a reasonable discourse on the subject of Knowlton's non-conforming use of property. History is many times what those who have the power to distort facts choose it to be. I have reason to believe that had Knowlton established a "junkyard" he would have called it such in some manner and at some point in time both in Town documents and in income tax filings. It is also logical that if the purpose of the property was auto salvage prior to 1959 then it would have been indicated publicly on a sign. The fact is that it has always been known as Knowltons garage (sic) and it is so stated on a sign that has been on the property since probably before I was born. If anyone can produce a document that indicates the property being used for auto salvage/junkyard prior to 1959 I will stand corrected. The issue of public health is a non issue (sic). The real issue is continued non enforcement of violations of non conforming (sic) use restrictions that date back to the day that the garage closed to the public and the gas retail license expired. At that point in time had the property obtained the needed variances it would not be in violation. Regards, Editor’s Note: The fact the family operation has not changed its name while doing business for the better part of a century seems irrelevant, especially since in all the years the business operated no town zoning officer ever found the company in violation of zoning. In terms of prior use, a large number of town residents signed legal affidavits attesting to the fact the business was involved in auto salvage long before 1959. Those sworn affidavits were provided to the selectmen when the prior use question of Knowlton’s Garage operating as a junkyard - prior to 1959 - was first raised. Michael Bradley, Publisher of The Bradley Report, was one of the many town residents who provided an affidavit. Bradley Report Links TEN Dear Publisher: We have added your magazine to our links directory located at http://www.everydaynegro.com/links.html. Just thought I would drop you a line to let you know. Again, great site! Gary Whittaker
Knowlton's Misperceptions Dear Publisher: I would like to refute a number of incorrect assertions in your continued unqualified support of business as usual on the property in question. One of many intentional misuse (sic) of words to describe the Knowlton (sic) operation after 1959 and prior to 1959, is Knowltons (sic) Auto Salvage Yard. This operation has never been known by those terms as per Town records. Knowlton's Garage has forever been known as Knowlton's Garage and carries the sign today unless it has been removed recently for purposes obvious. I am unclear as to the actual date when gas retailing ceased at the property but I know that I put gas in my "new" 1929 Ford coupe that I bought from a gentlemen across the street in 1954. It is also very easy to recall a few cars used for parts in what was primarily a repair "Garage" common at that time. The term "Auto Salvage Yard" is a very recent term given to describe former junk yards and was never used in connection with the Knowlton property except to intentionally alter the facts. The absurdity of the concept of Grandfathering being used to justify the proven contamination of the property is only exceeded by the complicity of the Town as stated by Mr. Barlow at a selectmens (sic) meeting. Mr. Fitch now has had to publicly state that the level of contamination not only emanates from the property but, in fact, is unable to be linked to the gas station across the street. The truth will set you free. My view is that those with a monetary connection to the status quo regarding Knowlton's are excluded from objectivity and, if elected to public office, have an automatic conflict of interest on this issue. Bourne has long enjoyed the reputation of non enforcement (sic) of building codes and most Town by laws. It is as a result public apathy and alleged corruption in the appropriate public venue. (sic). Don C Haward (sic) Publisher’s Note: Mr. Hayward, as we understand his name to be correctly spelled, has made a number of assertions in his letter that are incorrect. Importantly, so far as The Bradley Report knows, there is no one who has been involved in the interaction between the Town of Bourne and Knowlton’s Garage (aka, Knowlton’s Auto Salvage), in the village of Sagamore, who has a "monetary connection" to the salvage business other than the members of the Anderson family; certainly there is no monetary connection between the Andersons and Knowlton’s Garage (aka, Knowlton’s Auto Salvage) and anyone directly associated with The Bradley Report. Similarly, The Bradley Report is unaware of any "monetary connection" relating to any of the Bourne public officials who have sought to treat this old family business fairly during a time when some citizens and some elected officials desire to see the business closed, no matter what the facts might indicate. The concept of "grandfathering" zoning protection is also denigrated by Mr. Hayward, but it is a time-honored idea whereby an enterprise that has existed for many years cannot simply be eliminated because it offends the current sensibilities of some people, whether newcomers to an area or not, who may also have the wherewithal and skill to change zoning and increase legal restrictions against the given business. ‘Grandfathering’ is important to assure protection against such bullying. Mr. Hayward is correct that the formal business name is Knowlton’s Garage, however it is also true that over the years the business has informally become known as Knowlton’s Auto Salvage, and for purposes of easy recognition and clarity, The Bradley Report has often referred to the more common and current nomenclature in its stories. Even given that usage, however, The Bradley Report has often referred to the business as Knowlton’s Garage in the same story. Perhaps most importantly, Mr. Hayward is completely wrong when he asserts that Jonathan Fitch, the Anderson family attorney, has publicly stated that "contamination" has emanated from the Knowlton’s Garage/Auto Salvage site. Mr. Fitch’s public statements have been diametrically the opposite of such a conclusion, based on recent environmental reports that show there has been virtually no migration of any pollution from the Knowlton’s Garage/Auto Salvage site. Finally, Mr. Hayward asserts that Mr. Fitch was "unable" to show that the gasoline additive MBTE in the soil on parts of the Anderson property came from the massive gasoline leak at the service station opposite Knowlton’s, but that comment is misleading. Thousands – perhaps many, many thousands – of gallons of gasoline were lost from the leaking gas tanks of the business across the street from Knowlton’s, and how all of that fuel, laden with MBTE, could have migrated in just one direction, away from Knowlton’s, has not been determined or accepted as fact by the engineers. The actual truth, perhaps, will set people free.
The Politics of Idiocy Mr. Finucane- Regarding your article "The Politics of Celibacy: Undercut Catholic Theology," I must tell you that your ignorance is exceeded only by your zeal. Once you do some serious inquiry into the history of celibacy in the Catholic Church--not only among priests but among women and men religious, after Christ's personal example--try your article again. Though I have little perspective on you, the motives of your arguments seem shortsighted and selfish. I say shortsighted, because you can't think in categories beyond material belongings. I say selfish, because you can't fathom such generosity as total dedication to service and undivided consecration to God. That you suffer these ill attributes would be forgivable, since so many others are similarly afflicted. However, you are an idiot who has chosen to be a journalist, burdening others with your drivel. This, I can't forgive. Regards, Paul Donnelly More Than The Wallet Dear Editor: Having
read your piece regarding our fight on the Authority Board, (Bradley Report
Commentary, ‘Big Dig is in the wallet’), I would like to thank you for your
time and interest in this issue. The
Boston Globe and Herald have hit us with 14 editorials, all negative of course,
so I must be onto something. Again,
many thanks for writing this issue. Christy

Empty the Holsters To the Editor: A few points on the editorial "Boston Holsters Gun Suit, as Terrorists Declare War": "Gun safety", while a noble ideal for weapons companies to pursue, does not begin to touch on the problems that our society faces concerning guns today. A more technologically developed gun lock does not prevent criminals from firing guns, nor does it prevent children from firing accidentally unlocked guns. While it is true, as stated in the editorial, that we are a nation at war, the bulk of the fighting is occurring thousands of miles away. Civilians need not carry guns to be safe - indeed, guns cannot protect against crashing airplanes. The presence of guns on the four planes that crashed on September 11th would only have served to escalate the situation, and given the large numbers of hijackers on each plane probably would have been ineffective. If, as is stated in the editorial, "enormous damage can be done without anything more lethal than some knives," guns would logically lend themselves to an even more horrifying outcome. The statement that these terrorists "all lived in the United States" is misleading. These men were foreign nationals who had come to the US, ostensibly for "education", and legally received visas from our government. Perhaps the US should look more closely at whom they are training to do potentially dangerous things in their flight schools. In defense of Islam, it is true that this is not an example of the true Muslim faith. For Muslims, suicide is something that bars one from Paradise. These men had been trained not in Islam but in hate, by men like Bin Laden. Although the editorial presents the September 11th attacks as a new phenomenon, they are by no means new. Attacks on innocent civilians have been occurring in the Holy Land for many, many years. Guns in the hands of every civilian will do nothing to end this sort of violence. The presence of guns will not deter suicide bombers, who are by definition willing to die for their cause. The "power to overcome" the enemies of the United States does not lie in guns in the hands of civilians. As safe as this might supposedly make people feel, people carrying handguns is an issue completely unrelated to our success in the Afghani war. In fact, guns have been a big problem in the US, escalated by the terrorism. Racially motivated attacks on American citizens who appear to be Muslims (even Indians and Mexicans) have increased because of the climate of fear that the war has caused. More violence is not the answer, and this is the only thing to which arming civilians will lead. Adrian Finucane
Sgt. Stover’s On The Mark Dear Editor: Sergeant Stover’s comments (Special Ops Today & Yesterday) are right on the mark. As a retired member of the Air Force, I was never assigned directly to a Special Operations unit, but spent several years acquiring/providing support for Air Force personnel/units assigned to special operations activities. So I am at least familiar with many of the problems he discusses. I was particularly intrigued by his concerns about Congress’ refusal to deal equitably with the disability offset to retirement pay. There is an excellent series of articles/comments available at The Retired Officer’s Association (TROA) website regarding this issue. Most vexing is the fact that a significant majority of the Congress pay lip service to the idea of eliminating the offset, but neither they nor the current (or past) administration have seen fit to provide funding for this issue. As Sergeant Stover indicates, in the hierarchy of government priorities, the soldier’s special needs often receive little or no priority. I often recall the comments of an Under Secretary of Defense at a program review for a project to improve command, control and intelligence capabilities. This project was underway in the waning days of the Viet Nam conflict – though initiated earlier. We were unsuccessful in convincing him of the need for additional, continuing funding for the program. He remarked (and I paraphrase): "…you guys just don’t seem to understand that if there isn’t a war, there just isn’t any need for fighter-type intelligence…" Here he was referring to the sorts of intelligence used to plan air operations in support of tactical operations. And, as Sergeant Stover points out, if there isn’t a war, there isn’t a lot of attention paid to soldiers’ needs or responsibilities. Please don’t take this to mean that we (the retired military community) aren’t immensely grateful for the recent strides made by the government toward retirement pay comparability and lifetime medical care for retirees. We are. However, there remain some significant inequities, and the disability compensation offset is one of the most onerous.
