My First LTTE was published!
They cut some of it, but overall I think it's pretty good.

3. Congrats! It was very good.
There have been several in my local paper stating the torture is justified because of 9/11. I constantly scream at the paper "Iraq wasn't involved in 9/11!" I need to write one myself.

13. Wow! In the right-wing Trib too!
I had a letter published in the PG about Alaska drilling. I never even thought about sending it to the Trib. Way to go! The most widely-read section of the paper.

27. Good letter
Edited on Sun May-30-04 03:45 PM by neebob
I was in Pittsburgh last month, in a very nice area near the airport. Stayed at the Radisson.

On edit: Holy crap! I just read the other guy's letter. Hail to Bush?! What did they cut out of your letter?
