Letter: Daily News won't print my letter

Editor, Daily News:

Responsible journalism? Last week I tried to place a letter to the editor on our worse nightmare yet to come — depleted uranium use in our two never-ending wars — and I say worse for what the outcome will be for America's good will around the world and what it will do for all the service people that will have served in these wars.

Because my letter contained over 250 words I was denied, yet cutting it back to 250 words was an insult and a danger in not getting out all the known facts.

I asked if it were just possible to do away with one of Jack Tymann's Pelican Bay letters, or an article on one of your reporter's romance and marriage, to put the letter in its entirety in the newspaper? Nope, can't do it.

So I ask, where is responsible journalism that these domestic issues come before our country and our children's future?
