Anti-Salvation Army letter nothing but a series of lies Editor, the Tribune: I was appalled to read accusations that the Salvation Army only hires evangelicals in Will Morris’ letter. I am an employee of the Salvation Army, a committed Jew and a card-carrying member of the ACLU. Morris’ letter is a series of lies.

Size, name won’t fix our airport problems Editor, the Tribune: I am not opposed to eminent domain in principle when it is used judiciously for the good of the whole, but the idea of using this tool to expand Columbia Regional Airport is just terrible.
Suicide-bomb backers give no quarter
By DIANA WEST Funny how small 26 percent sounds when it describes, for example, the number of American voters who support the Senate’s mass-amnesty, goody-bag bill for illegal aliens. In this case, the one in four people polled by Rasmussen this week who hope the legislation passes comes off as a minority voice, especially when compared to the whopping 72 percent of voters who favor border enforcement and the reduction of illegal immigration.
Iraq policy change is in the wind
