I'm not the first here to say a heartfelt Thank You to both you and Ambassador Joe for your service to our country. I hope that I'm not the last.

There is, I believe, an interesting parallel between the unconscionable treatment you received as a hard working member of our government and what has been done to our returning veterans from Afganistan and Iraq.

In both cases the treatment dished out by BushCo has been despicable!

You are not shown the respect one would normally accord a simple typist let alone someone who has put themselves on the line for their country.

Our veterans are similarly "cast off" as being no longer useful to the Bush machine. Put up in rat infested hovels and made to jump through loophole after loophole in pursuit of the benefits they deserve for service to their country.

It is a totally shameful way to run a country.

The other part of this tragedy is the veracity of our leaders.

We all have a pretty good idea that Bush has lied on numerous occasions, but when he said he would Fire anyone involved in your outing and then commuted the sentence of Libby.

That was an outrage and proved beyond a doubt what a lack of courage the President has.

For a drunken, frat boy, draft dodging deserter to even be in the same room with someone like yourself is a damned shame!

Please have a good life. Bush is on his way to the obscurity he deserves.
