Great letter

Letter in today's New York Times:

To the Editor:

Let's say that you are the president of the United States and you are given a briefing that says a known terrorist who has struck America's interests in the past is determined to strike within the United States' borders. What do you do?

If you are George Bush you do not go into a state of "high alert." You go cut brush on your ranch since it is August 2001 and you are on vacation.
