Dear Editor,
How premature is premature? If a friend drove the wrong way down a one-way street would it be premature to warn the friend before there was a collision? By what stretch of the imagination is pointing out a mistake unfair? An inability to acknowledge mistakes is not an endearing or even a useful quality. The politicians’ way to acknowledge mistakes is to blame someone who is politically dispensable and force that person to step down. I’m sure that the sacrificial lamb could be employed as a presidential advisor.
Yours faithfully,
Peter D Fraser
