From David Bethune, Ph.D., Newport, Rhode Island:

Thanks for the information regarding the firing of Major Coughlin. However, it does not surprise me all, considering the many horror stories that are related by Ken Timmerman in his new book, Shadow Warriors: The Untold Story of Traitors, Saboteurs, and the Party of Surrender. The CIA, Pentagon and State Department are polluted by liberal/Democrat Party partisans who are intent on opposing the war against Islamofascism and eagerly looking for patriots to eliminate, like Major Coughlin. It is heartening to hear that there are those like yourself, Bostom, Gertz and Congresswoman Myrick who are intent on reversing this decison. President Bush has been much too weak in defending those who have been so very willing to defend him and his policies. Unfortunately, his recent trip to the Middle East is not helping matters at all.
