I had to write this to 60 minutes in regards to their 'Quiet Professionals' segment the other night:
Hello, Hope all is well. I wanted to let you know that I especially enjoyed your Sean White segment the other night, but found the 'Quiet Professionals' segment to be not much more than propaganda. Please don't get me wrong: some ra-ra and cheering is good and I definitely support our soldiers, but as a news organization I hold you to a much higher standard and I think you should hold yourselves to a higher standard. One glaring issue with this piece was asking a good soldier what winning this war was. What do you expect him to say? How and why could you not have directed some of these incredibly important questions to pentagon brass? This is the key thing that sticks in my craw about this war and Iraq: what the fuck is winning? Or perhaps the better question is: what are our strategic objectives? The public has no idea and 60 minutes did nothing to help move this understanding along.
