The standard procedure at The Times is to verify all letters to the editor; this procedure was not followed in this instance

First question I have was this the only time this kind of event happened ....someone didn't vet this email and the paper got stung. Who didn't do their job....it will be interesting to find out.

When one of my letters to the editor for the Washington Times was accepted, they sent me an e-mail telling me they would be using the letter. I wonder if they did the same here?

Or he did write it, got cold feet and the Times agreed to cover for him.
