Ed.: One of the many letters I received from parents who can no longer stand

at the sidelines of the Anthrax policy folly. Here is a letter to the

SecDef, triggered by the recent courts martial of Dr. Buck.

**********************************************************

By a Concerned Parent

Dear Mr. Secretary:

As you read the following message, pertaining to a subject I am sure is dear

to your heart, I want you to ponder one question: " How can there be justice

when the military refuses to hear all the evidence? "

The phrase " kangaroo court " comes to mind.

I am concerned because my son is participating in ROTC and has his heart set

on being an SF officer. I used to support the Department of Defense because

I believed that the interests of the nation (and its soldiers) were foremost

on its mind. Thank you, for proving otherwise.

I raised my son to be independent and to make his own choices. I may yet

suffer from my success. I will, of course, be actively dissuading my son

from joining up. I will also be spreading the word far and wide that serving

your country is not the same as being forced to participate in a covert,

unlawful, medical experiment.

The Anthrax program is just that, and it's ineffective, except for the

largess passed on to BioPort and others.

You're an intelligent person. Need I say more ?

Sincerely,

C. S.
