Perle’s Resignation Speaks Volumes
Re “Corporate Role Criticized, Pentagon Advisor Resigns,” March 28: The Times is giving the president a free ride. Although I was glad to see coverage of the resignation of Richard Perle as chairman of the Pentagon’s Defense Policy Board, I was disappointed that it appeared on the last page. Stories that raise questions about the integrity of any administration should appear on the front page. If we are not critical of our leaders, then there is little need for democracy or the press.

Perle has properly resigned his position as chairman of the Defense Policy Board under accusations of conflict of interest. But the same improprieties can still exist as he continues to be a member of the board. He should be urged to resign his membership.
