This is a MUST READ. It's a very strong letter.

Here's a snip for you:
But George Bush never looked into my son's eyes. George Bush doesn't know my son. And he is the worse for it. George Bush, though a father himself, cannot feel my pain, nor that of my family or the world who grieve for Nick, because he is a policy maker, and he doesn't have to bear the consequences of his acts. George Bush can see neither the heart of Nicholas nor the American people -- let alone the people his policies are killing daily.

1. Another snip

George Bush's ineffective leadership is a weapon of mass destruction, and it has allowed a chain reaction of events that led to the unlawful detention of my son. That detention immersed my son in a world of escalated violence, (and) were it not for his detention I would have had him in my arms again. That detention held him in Iraq not only until the atrocities that led to the siege of Fallujah but to the revelation of the atrocities committed in the jails in Iraq in retaliation for which my son's wonderful life was put to an end.

2. Just one more snip, then I'll stop.

"We are fed up with the killing and bombing and maiming of innocent people. We are fed up with the lies from our government about Nick's detention, and we are fed up with the lies from our government about the reasons for this war..."
