44. "Dissent is the highest form of patriotism" - Thomas Jefferson

My letter

You labeled the pro-war camp 'Patriotic' in one of your articles?

This is highly offensive. Just because a group is pro-war does NOT make them any more 'Patriotic' than anti war groups. Most of the country is upset about how the President has handled the war, does that make most Americans un-Patriotic? You really need to change the title on that article and change the wording. Pro-War does not equal Patriotic any more than Anti-War and that is just a FACT! This is not Nazi Germany this is the United States of America where those who stand up against those in power are suposed to be honered.
