Erroneous news worsened tragedy

Government officials can get away with things that would land private-sector officials in jail. For instance, bait-and-switch is against the law when done by a private business, but government does it all the time.

Teresa Smith lucked into sweet deal
Former Augusta Engineering Department Director Teresa Smith is one lucky woman. She has been fired from a job that she could not, or would not, perform satisfactorily. However, she has been placed on administrative leave with pay, until the clowns on our Augusta Commission can decide how large her severance package should be. In my working experience, if you were fired from a job, you did not receive severance pay, except maybe for the company CEO.

Regarding Lowell Greenbaum's Dec. 31 letter regarding surveillance tactics used in today's war on terror ("Surveillance tactics imperil democracy"), I can only say that if we left it up to Sir Lowell and his fellow liberals to fight this war, they'd be shaking their fingers in the faces of the terrorists and saying, "You bad boys. Don't do that again." That would be the extent of their actions in our defense from these people.
