Open Letter to Sacramento Bee; Afghan Election Reporting

SHAME, SHAME, SHAME!

With all its costs and the great privilege and historical significance
that free elections in Afghanistan has, you bury it on page A19. Have
you know shame, have you no respect? Where is the common decency that
would herald from the rooftops that most central of all activities of a
free people. The picture of an Afghan man slipping his ballot into the
ballot box made me weep with gratitude for all those who made that
possible, and you bury it on A19. Shame on you!
