Hoodwinked

Don't flatter yourself: To Ellen Moore,

Ellen, those "hooded people" are nothing like me [Letters, June 23]. You see, Ellen, I respect the law.

As for yourself, you claim to be one of the hooded demonstrators who wore a hood out of fear of FBI reprisal, yet you sign your name to a letter to the editor. This makes no sense. You claim you wore a hood because of fear that the FBI might collect a dossier on you as a "domestic terrorist." Ellen, you have a mighty inflated opinion of yourself if you truly believe that the FBI has the slightest interest in you whatsoever. I can assure you that the FBI is quite busy right now fighting "real" terrorists of another kind: those who might try to bring a nuclear device or a dirty bomb into the United States. I seriously doubt that the FBI is interested in Halliburton demonstrators who wear plastic Dick Cheney masks while milking a cardboard "cash cow."

Your perceived fear that the FBI might be looking to collect dossiers on the Halliburton demonstrators makes me wonder what flavor Kool-Aid you've been drinking. Get a life.
