Email I Sent to the Editor of The Observer, A British Online News Website and His Response

A U.S. Citizen wants to apologize to his cousins in Britain

Dear Sirs,

I am contacting your organization to apologize on behalf of the United States for our outrageous and unacceptable behavior during the last six years. I have become a regular reader of your website as I find your reporting to be informative, trustworthy, and factual which are in mind my the three pillars of professional journalism. Unfortunately, these pillars no longer exist in my country. I and many other concerned Americans have been trying to fight the good fight, but our adversaries control much of the power structure of the country. Over the past several months, I have developed a higher degree of urgency in confronting my government over its abominable and corrupt behavior which has eroded the country's principles and international integrity. With the aid of your website and other international sites, I have become aware of the disgraceful actions that my government has sanctioned in the name of the “American People,” and I am embarrassed and ashamed of myself and of my fellow Americans as we have failed to uphold our responsibility to our Constitution and most importantly to our fellow citizens of the world. As a proud, but humbled American, I ask that you and the global community to continue to shine the light on truth and keep the faith, as my fellow Americans and I continue the struggle to reclaim our "shining democracy on the hill." Peace.
