Subject: re: Nominee for Attorney General Less an Activist Than Holder
To: "letters@nytimes.com" <letters@nytimes.com>
To the Editor:
When Loretta Lynch prosecuted four NYC cops for beating and sodomizing Abner Louima, that wasn't "activism" that was doing her job. But what shall we say of Eric Holder, who has decriminalized torture and has winked at the extra-judicial slayings of the al-Awlakis? That also isn't "activism". That's the opposite of active.
We need neither an activist nor a place-keeper as Attorney General. We need Loretta Lynch to "take care that the Laws be faithfully executed", when on Black or White, banker or working stiff, cop or civilian. That would be a welcome installment on the CHANGE I voted for in '08.
