To the Editor:
In January 2009, Barack Obama was inaugurated as president of the United States. At that time, he signalled that some things would remain unchanged by keeping Robert Gates on the Federal payroll as Secretary of Defense. Now he signals that some things are changing by taking Juma Khan off the same payroll. Of course, when a government has been paying a druglord, it can't just fire him. Khan must be silenced. If he won't make a deal, he will be killed to protect our "state secrets". That's what it means to project American power around the world. it is a ponderous burden.
