...into a suspect when one or two would have been enough? What went on inside the minds of the police who killed Menezes? The public is entitled to be informed of all the details of this event. Axel Beselin Malveira da Serra, Portugal Beyond Symbols of Support In his column "the danger of yellow Ribbon Patriotism" [Aug. 29], Joe Klein stated that there needs to be a public acknowledgment of the agony the war in Iraq has caused. He noted that our troops just want our support. But we Americans can't provide that by wrapping ourselves in the flag...
