Secord
Please allow me to publicly correct a part of my letter (“Secord Gets Probation,” Feb. 2) and to publicly apologize to Gen. Richard V. Secord for not standing and fighting this injustice like a man. The fact is that he is doing just that.
Gen. Secord writes, “I filed an appeal against the sentence” the day following his sentence, Jan. 25. “I still maintain that what we did during Iran/Contra was right, proper and legal.”
Gen. Secord concludes, “President Reagan has, in my opinion, behaved disgracefully. . . . No commander in chief should desert his men--ever!”
