Those obviously conservative readers who took offense to my Nov. 18 commentary concerning the 500-pound gorilla (the budget of the defense department) obviously missed something.
In the article, I cited a quote from Donald Rumsfeldāyou know, the Secretary of Defense in the Bush Administrationāwho in essence said the Pentagon and its costs are among the biggest dangers to this country.
So you see, itās not just ālooney liberalsā like myself who are worried about the gorilla.
