Dear Susan,
I don't have time for a detailed reply today, but I will remind you of
something: I was there. I heard the denunciation of Dialogue, and
believed it. I even threw away my copies of the magazine, believing that
to be a loyal thing to do. And eleven years later I found myself
reading the unpublished article "A Modest Proposal",that no sane person
would regard as an attack. This is not something someone told me second
hand. At the time I found this, I wasn't even aware of the other
controversies going on over the Internet. My opinion of the NSA's
honesty is based upon the evidence of my own senses.
Love, Karen
