There are certainly lots of stupid leftists, but from the tenor of her letter I would put this person in the Michael Moore category - she absolutely knows she is trying to sell a pack of lies to ignorant and misguided people, but it's a matter of propaganda and power - people who take this approach generally have a concealed agenda which is much more radical than the line they are publicly espousing but first they need to use the propaganda to place themselves in power.
................Afghanistan is now a haven for the Taliban and its chief export is heroin..............It seems the same thing could have been said when Bill Clinton was president, with one big exception, that being OBL was living out in the open as was Mullah Omar, his protector. Now Omar and OBL and hiding in caves, our troops are on the ground hunting the Taliban, and Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the masterming of 9/11 is sitting at Club GITMO, awaiting his trial. I would prefer the US get serious about the herion trade in Afghanistan, but we are in a vastly better spot now than when Slick Willy was in power.
