Rocky Flats
I am writing in regards to articles in The Times (Part I, June 10) concerning events in China and the FBI probe of the Rocky Flats facilities.
In both cases governments evidence a callous disregard for the rights and welfare of the citizenry. In response to the repression in China there is widespread outrage and protest. In regards to Rocky Flats nothing comparable has occurred, although thousands of people in the Denver area have been exposed to toxic pollutants illegally released from the plant and, likewise, because officials believe that they know best the priorities for this nation.
