To the Editor:
   It is predictable that former CIA director Panetta prefers to operate under cover of darkness. But as U.S. Secretary of Defense, he must be accountable for the behavior and well-being of our sons and daughters. If members of our military have acted dishonorably or barbarically, it is their actions that jeopardize our mission and their fellows' safety.  The journalists reporting such outrages are performing their proper constitutional function in our democracy and must not be restrained.
