A Careful Reading of the Facts

In his profile of Katherine Kersten, Brian Lambert states: “nor does she stoop to … cynical mangling of facts…” You can argue about her cynicism, but as I recall when she was writing occasional policy pieces for the Star Trib op-ed page, those pieces were usually followed by letters to the editor stating where she got her facts wrong. As for Central America, she says that “in particular [her] experience with Central America” was very important. Nowhere in this piece does she say anything about the death squads and massacres. Brian Lambert doesn’t raise the question either. You can do better.
