WEEKEND EDITION December 13 - 14, 2003
I read Kelly Krieg's Dec. 10 letter proclaiming that President Bush flying into Baghdad International Airport was as dangerous as "a trip to Wal-Mart." Interestingly enough, I read this letter not one hour after hearing on the news that a C-17 Air Force transport was hit by a surface-to-air missile while taking off.
Thankfully, despite a destroyed engine, the plane was able to land safely. In all my trips to Wal-Mart, I cannot recall anything like that happening to me.
