LETTER: Taliban photo shows eye-for-an-eye justice
November 21This letter is to continue on with the fuss the community has made since the publication of the "Taliban photo."

LETTER: Lobo, Freemasons deserve more respect than they get
November 21In response to Skye Morris' challenge in Tuesday's Daily Lobo, I can think of at least two organizations that do more good for the community that they serve and are the least understood and most hated by those they serve - the Freemasons and the Daily Lobo.

LETTER: B.U.S.Y. slate's Assed aims to clear his name
November 21Last night, as I was on my way out the door, my exit was interrupted by a telephone call. I rushed to my phone and picked up. It was none other than Andrew Webb, a Daily Lobo reporter. He asked me for comment on the new rulings of the ASUNM Elections Commission on the misconduct of the Connection slate.

LETTER: Ghastly photo shows other side of war
November 21"A picture speaks a thousand words," was another response to the photo that was published in the Daily Lobo that caused so much controversy and hurt many virgin eyes.
Opinion
LETTER: We need grisly photos to show tax dollars at work
November 21My concern is why the Daily Lobo ran only one small photo of the castration and execution scene when New York Times ran three large photos of what our support troops were doing. It appears more men were killed than just one if all the photos are examined.
Opinion
COLUMN: Taliban soldier chose his fate
November 21Much is being made lately of the disturbing photograph that showed the gruesome execution of a member of the Taliban by Northern Alliance troops published in the Daily Lobo last Wednesday. Objections to its publication are understandable; no moral person can help shivering at the thought of such a painful and inglorious end.

LETTER: Questioning authority is at pinnacle of patriotism
November 20I am moved to respond to the letter of Matthew Kennicott. He asserts that "Many youths today, especially on college campuses, have empty minds that are being filled with anti-American, anti-Christian ideals." He seems to believe that those of us who do not support our present "war" don't think for ourselves.
Opinion
LETTER: Running photo right decision
November 20I would like to thank the Daily Lobo for publishing the photo on the cover of Wednesday's issue. This photograph is an extraordinary piece of journalism, and the emotionless caption that accompanies it only serves to underscore the apathy of the American public regarding this "war."
Opinion
LETTER: Senate shows its lack of intelligence
November 20ASUNM Finance Committee members Sarah Bullard and Evan Kist exercise both poor judgment and lack of intelligent insight in their ignorant comments regarding funding the M.E.Ch.A. High School Conference. They propose that the conference is not worthy of ASUNM funding because they do not believe the conference will directly impact UNM students.
Opinion
LETTER: Republicans are true followers
November 20Matthew Kenicott's letter in the Daily Lobo exemplifies that a Republican is a follower. He claims that our campus is run by "the leftist community" and that we are being taught to "hate everything America stands for by communist-leaning professors."
Opinion
LETTER: UNM Greek system misunderstood
November 20often read the Greek bashing in the Daily Lobo and just let it go because it is obvious that people have no clue what they are talking about. Many know nothing about the Greeks and yet assume they know everything.

LETTER: Lobo's publication of exection photo was tasteless, unethical
November 19Sept. 11 has affected all of us in some way. As a 10 year employee, an alumna and as a American, I am even more devastated that a university paper would allow its community to view the horror of atrocities to human beings. I am tired of seeing this kind of violence laid out before our eyes. Isn't New York enough!

Editorial: A memorable Saturday
November 19We have spent a lot of time during the last two weeks talking about what's wrong with UNM. Such is the nature of our world, with people dwelling on the negative and barely taking the time to recognize anything else.

LETTER: Connection slate's apology for conduct is sorry, indeed
November 19As I read the "apology" from the Connection slate in the paper today, I have only one question. Who do they think they are kidding?
Opinion
LETTER: U.S. atrocities are no worse
November 19As I read through the letters in the Nov. 15 edition of the Daily Lobo, I was very surprised to see that there were complaints about the cover photo in Wednesday's edition.
Opinion
COLUMN: Free speech can't always be pretty
November 19Do you remember Sept. 12? If you picked up a copy of the Daily Lobo, on the cover you saw an oversized photo showing the World Trade Center exploding. Inside, another photo showed people clutching to window sills, waiting for a rescue that wasn't coming. Pretty gruesome, eh?
Opinion
LETTER: ASUNM misrepresented
November 19The Nov. 14 Daily Lobo was packed full of diatribes about how ASUNM sucks and how the Daily Lobo sucks. The fact is that they both suck a little. What I take issue with is a column that entirely mispresents what actually happens on campus. Jesse Mu§iz's column did just that.
Opinion
LETTER: Connection ignored explicit laws
November 19The letter from the Connection that was printed on Nov. 16 was nearly as transparent as my dorm room window. It disappoints me, as a current ASUNM senator, to read a letter riddled with false claims of ignorance, and written with the pen of fellow Senators Evan Kist and Nicole Griego.
Opinion
COLUMN: U.S. economy profits from wars
November 16One question we never ask is, "Who is making all these military arms?" With the 20th century being riddled with wars such as World Wars I and II, Vietnam and years of massacres in El Salvador and Guatemala, not to mention starting a new century with yet another war, you would think this question would be paramount. But, when we finally ask this question there is, of course, no reply. There are just echoes of your voice that get muffled over with the sounds of PlayStation videogames.

LETTER: ASUNM still corrupt, biased
November 16I am writing this letter in response to a situation, in particular, that does prove and exemplifies the "corrupt and biased" politics of ASUNM.
