to the editor: Am I alone in detecting the taint of sexism in mr. Friedman's rhetoric?

We have elected grandfathers (as recently as 1988) to thepresidency of the United States. Does ms. Esfandiari's gender make hersomehow less competent? I presume that all three of these American citizens are innocent and deserve to be released here. I also presumethat gender is irrelevant to their innocence, to their competence, and to their human worth. I look forward to a newspaper that reflects this.
