To the Editor:
    James Fotenos' statement that “there are no children on the no-fly or selectee lists” is newsworthy because is it falsifiable and has been shown to be false.  We should also consider that it might point to illegal activity. For very good reasons, we have laws prohibiting the use of taxpayers money to direct propaganda at the homefront in times of war.  Much is unclear here. Are we at war (albeit without a declaration from congress)? Is the T.S.A. engaged in the war-effort? That should  be properly left to the prosecutor to determine.  As long as mr. Fotenos is paid from tax-levee money, we the taxpayers deserve to know why he's lying to us.
