They published my LTTE in The Miami Herald

[RagingInMiami]

It's the last letter on this link. I cut and pasted it below.

http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/news/opinion/13365410.htm

So far, ''the war on terror'' has left us with:

• An unarmed man killed at Miami International Airport because he suffered a bipolar attack in front of air marshals.

• An unarmed Brazilian man killed in a London underground rail car because he looked Middle Eastern.

• A University of South Florida professor imprisoned for 33 months even though there was no evidence linking him to a terrorist organization.

• An American citizen incarcerated for three years as an ''enemy combatant'' before he was finally indicted on charges that had nothing to do with the original allegations.

• More than 2,100 American soldiers killed -- and thousands more injured and traumatized -- while fighting in a country that posed no threat to us.

Meanwhile, Osama bin Laden, the man whom President Bush vowed in 2001 to track down ''dead or alive,'' is probably still strolling the Afghan mountainside with his walking stick.

CARLOS MILLER, Miami

28. I'm looking forward to it

Maybe we can plan a South Florida meetup for January. How is the traffic light situation in Broward? There are still traffic lights out in parts of Miami, especially in the north.

[immoderate]

29. It seems back to normal.

January sounds good for a meet. Again, nice letter.

31. Osama Bin-FORGOTTEN!

Still recall *'s response when asked where he is, etc.

* gave a lame, (paraphrasing) I dunno, don't care, not important, let's move on to another question.

It's very troubling and many I know are outraged over the latest; the unarmed man shot on the airplane the other night. Everyone is saying, couldn't they have shot him in the leg, the foot, anywhere - but why was an unarmed man killed?

People just aren't buying it anymore. Too much BS that just does not stick, rather majorly unraveled.

32. mind if I steal this to post on another board?

excellent letter!!

[RagingInMiami]

33. Of course not

This is one of my best days on DU, if not the best. I've never had a thread get anywhere near this many nominations for the Greatest Page.

34. Here's another one.

35. Good job, RIM!

[usedtobesick]

36. Seems like in our search for our own security we're building

a sad legacy for our children on what we did when we were confronted with a crisis like 9/11. What will they see when they look at us in their history books? Will these points in time be our defining acts as generation. God I hope we get a clue soon!

And strangely enough my 911th post.

[RagingInMiami]

38. My belief is that history

And I'm talking way down the line, is going to show that Bush was the worst president ever. That this was one of the low points in our history. That people were manipulated by what occurred on that fateful day.

I'm just glad you were able to get a clue.

37. K&R: Thank you for sharing this!

39. K & R...good letter, congrats and thank you too.

[Tuesday_Morning]

40. So I went out to dinner last night...

...and this couple said to me: Hey - did you see that letter in the Miami Herald today?

It was your letter, of course. I got to say, "I know him" and then use it as an opportunity to recommend DU.

[RagingInMiami]

42. I love that

I've been getting e-mails from friends who saw that letter telling me what an awesome letter it was. This is definitely my 15 minutes of fame.

[CatWoman]

43. Let's try to stretch it to 30

:D

:hi:

thanks!!

[Tuesday_Morning]

46. I bet it's just your FIRST 15 minutes...

...of fame.

Plenty more to write about and you're good at it.

[RagingInMiami]

47. Thank you

I actually spent almost seven years writing for daily newspapers, most recently with The Arizona Republic in 2003. I quit the corporate media because I got sick of the lies. This is the first time I've ever gotten a letter to the editor published.

I guess it helps when you're not writing them to the paper you walked out on.
