WASHINGTON In a lunchtime discussion this week, Sen. Patty Murray told a group of high-school students to think about how Osama bin Laden's generosity to the poor may have helped him win support around the world.

We CAN do something. Let's organize. Let's tell the Seattle newspaper what we all think of Murray's remarks. She's a traitor, no less. We are at war, and that fool supports the enemy. I think she should resign her Senate seat. I wrote a note to the Seattle newspaper suggesting that she resign.
If you feel so inclined, maybe you can send a letter demanding her resignation, too. The e-mail address is: opinion@seattletimes.com

Dear Sirs, "WASHINGTON In a lunchtime discussion this week, Sen. Patty Murray told a group of high-school students to think about how Osama bin Laden's generosity to the poor may have helped him win support around the world."
How a Senator can put the "scum of the earth" on a pedestal is beyond me! She is a traitor and should be booted out of office!
Yes, news does come to Maine!
Sincerely,

Even MORE so, NOW! Boy, this is mind boggling. Where DO they find these people! I guess her constituents feel the same as her??!!
And her constituents actually go along with this?
Having a challenging and thoughtful discussion about America's future reflects the best values of a free democracy; To sensationalize and distort in an attempt to divide does not For Immediate Release: December 20, 2002 Osama Bin Laden is an evil terrorist who is responsible for the deaths of thousands of Americans. Bringing him to justice, dismantling his terrorist network, and protecting our nation from further attacks must continue to be our government's highest priorities, and I continue to vigorously support those efforts in the Senate. While we continue to search every corner of the globe to destroy Osama bin Laden and his al Quaeda network, should we also consider the longer-term issue of what else can be done to improve relations with all nations including the Arab world? How else can we bring America's values to those who do not understand us? And while there are some whose hearts and minds may never be won, should we try to reach those who can? The White House believes that we can do more, and has devoted an entire department to improving America's image in the Arab world. Having a challenging and thoughtful discussion about America's future reflects the best values of a free democracy; to sensationalize and distort in an attempt to divide does not. While there are some on the extreme fringes of society who try to exploit fear and uncertainty for political gain, there are many more who understand that the best value of our democracy is the freedom to think and to secure a better future.

SOMETHING needs to be done. "They" say they always want to hear from us. Well, they have to hear the bad along with the good. I'm tired of this. They get voted into office, then do their own thing, regardless of what the people want. I see it over and over.
