A Response to George Salzman's Open Letter
By Al Giordano,


My friend and fellow expat George has written me an “open letter” and published it on the Internet.

I’ve never had an open letter addressed to me before. And neither Emily Post’s nor Quentin Crisp’s guides to good manners indicate what is the proper etiquette when receiving one. So I’ll improvise and respond simply as if it is a regular letter or email from a valued colleague and truth-teller…

George’s letter begins by mourning the death by apparent suicide of our Narco News School of Authentic Journalism colleague and friend Gary Webb. And he shares my expressed hatred for those who helped push Gary toward an early end. (As Thomas Paine wrote in The Crisis: “God put hatred in men’s hearts for good reason; to ensure justice.”).

George then takes me to task for having “bought into the corporate media’s pronouncement of (Bush’s) electoral victory.”

Now, were likely Kerry voters repressed from voting? Absolutely. Did that repression of the vote swing key states – Ohio and Florida – from Kerry to Bush? Probably. In Ohio, could the “Diebold Overlords” have rigged the voting machines to affect the outcome? Possibly. And those Authentic Journalists like our friend Greg Palast who have worked so hard to document the fraud have all my support.
