Another Letter the WSJ Won't Publish
Dear Sirs and Manly Men:
I am 100% behind you guys on the Philippines' Reganesque caving to terrorrist demands (Opinion, July 23). Everything was peachy keen in Iraq, and these ingrates have to go Cheney up the whole deal. I've had it with these damn Filipinos and their leaving-Iraq-a-couple-of-weeks-earlier-than-they-would-have-anyway attitude. As you rightly point out, Iraq has turned into a steaming pile of chaos, and it's all their fault. I think the only solution is to re-colonize the Philippines. This "democracy" experiment just isn't working out.
heterosexually yours,
&c.
apologies to Jesus' General for pinching his closing line

Tenet told us that in his world "the system was blinking red." By late July (2001,) Tenet said, it could not "get any worse." Not everyone was convinced. Some asked whether all these threats might just be deception. On June 30, the SEIB contained an article titled "Bin Ladin Threats Are Real." Yet Hadley told Tenet in July that Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz questioned the reporting. Perhaps Bin Ladin was trying to study U.S. reactions. Tenet replied that he had already addressed the Defense Department's questions on this point; the reporting was convincing.
