A second look at those priorities

Were you overcompensating, proving you’re above favoritism?

You ran a review of Los Angeles Times reporter Terry McDermott’s book about the Sept. 11 hijackers, “Perfect Soldiers” (Book Review, May 15), on Page 8.

Yeah, I know, George Lucas, who had the cover that week, is important, but “Star Wars” is make-believe, and 9/11 was and always will be real.

Someone ought to point out to the American public that the No. 1 rule of warfare is: “Know your enemy.” And McDermott has given us the best picture of the enemy so far.
