Reader Elmer sends the editorial [pdf] from today's Corning Leader. It's an unequivocal rejection of the "return on success" slogan, and a call for and end to the Iraq War.
The Leader is generally considered a conservative newspaper. It endorsed Randy Kuhl in 2006. There's no mention of Kuhl in today's editorial, though last week's Leader carried an column written by the editor saying that Kuhl's position on the war is endangering his chances for re-election.
Comments
This is significant, fact that "The Leader," in general rather than by way of selected lone columnists, is calling for an end to the war.
It is an interesting position for one of the more conservative papers in the district.
Elmer, perhaps?---Has "The Leader" had any letters to the editor in response to this likely-to-prompt-controversy editorial? We DO get the news up here on the hill but not all the time!
