DEAR EDITOR:
I read with sorrow, Robert Mitchell’s column in the May 4 Dispatch regarding freedom. I love the freedom we Americans usually take for granted. I feel sorry for those people who are so politically embittered as to twist the love of freedom into an attack on the leaders of our wonderful nation, be they Republican, Democrat or Independent.
I do not see the same picture through my clear eyes. I wonder if he would still feel the way he does if he had tried to write about Saddam while living in Baghdad a couple of years ago.
Our president will not have him tortured nor killed for what he writes. We can say these nasty things about our leaders because we have FREEDOM. The same word he used so sarcastically in his column to show his hatred for the party now in power in Washington.
I am ashamed he uses the good name given him by a long line of patriots in the United States of America, but that’s freedom I guess.
Steve Mitchell, Gilroy
