Cover 9/11 and the Unconstitutional, Imperialistic, Brutal Aspects of Iraq War

RECEIVED Tue., April 26, 2005

Louis,
    The Chronicle is the most important source of progressive information in Austin, and perhaps for all of the Southwest. Your support of music and the environment has been incredible – thank you. Further, your reporting of local political news has, for the most part, been an important balance to the Statesman and has made Austin a better place.
    The reason for this letter is that it appears there is an intentional avoidance of printing information concerning 9/11 (9/11 has been the excuse of the neo-cons to loot our treasury, to destroy our civil liberties, and to embark on an extremely dangerous and deadly foreign policy of invasion). Today, there is overwhelming objective information that the “official” government story concerning this great national tragedy is a “fairy tale.” Additionally, it appears as though the Chronicle is putting very little effort into reporting the unconstitutional, imperialistic, brutal, and racist aspects of the Iraqi War.
    Because the Chronicle is the main source of information for so many in Austin, and because 9/11 and the Iraq War are so vital to the real freedoms (not the fascists' illusions) of our community, I would ask that you publish the information that the predominate/corporate media will not deal with.
Sincerely,
George Humphrey
