Thanks for running the Milbank commentary (Nov. 10) regarding Eric Holder’s testimony in the “Fast and Furious” probe by Congress. It gave readers a unique opportunity to examine why Americans are disgusted with both the government and the press. Holder was evasive and slick with his response to investigators’ questions, and Milbank was proud of Holder’s ability to do so. In too many instances, Americans are stuck with a government they can’t trust and a press that is grossly partisan. We expect better.
