McFarlane on Clinton

I cannot believe The Times saw fit to print an article by Robert “Bud” McFarlane commenting on anything, least of all Clinton’s credibility (Commentary, Oct. 12). Bud McFarlane was completely discredited for his role in the Iran-Contra scandal and should not be allowed to pollute the pages of a respected newspaper. His article was a meaningless waste of space.
