Letter: Reid spoke truth about Bush

Wednesday, March 27, 2002 | 8:39 a.m.

This is in reply to the March 4 letter written by Douglas M. Bryant. He stated that Sen. Harry Reid called President Bush a liar for saying he would base his decision on Yucca Mountain on sound science. Well, science hasn't said Yucca Mountain is safe, so Bush didn't tell the truth. Does that sound better than he lied?

As for Bryant's statement that this is a partisan thing: Well, our governor, a Republican, plus our two Republican representatives in Washington, are also fighting Bush's decision. I don't know what false personal attack against the president Harry Reid made, but if telling the truth is attacking, so be it. Nevadans shouldn't be called unpatriotic because we don't want this deadly waste in our state.

And yes, Bush is very well supported in the war on terrorism. But when Bush was a young man, there was a war going on called Vietnam. Well, I don't think we want to go there! As for Harry Reid, keep up the fight.
