These three letters to the editor focus on the George W. Bush administration and the United States commitment to democracy. Lawrence F. Kaplan's commentary on the Bush administration's exit strategy in Iraq is off the mark ("Early Exit," May 26). The administration has no "magic number" for the forces it will take nor is there an "end date" for mission accomplishment. Jeffrey Rosen's claim that Congress has proved to be "a far more vigorous defender of liberty and privacy than the courts" post-September 11, 2001, is edgy and contrarian but also silly ("Privacy Pleas," May 26). Most notably, it was Congress that overwhelmingly enacted the USA Patriot Act, an act that Rosen has justifiably criticized in the past. Judges have issued courageous and eloquent rulings on such matters as the Jose Padilla and Yasir Hamdi cases, the Justice Department's interpretation of the Patriot Act's Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act provisions, and the government's blanket secrecy policy for detained foreign nationals. I was morbidly amused to read that the editors of 'The New Republic' to discover that the Bush administration's commitment to democracy and reconstruction in Iraq has turned out to be as paper-thin as its previous commitment to the same goals in Afghanistan ("Mission Incomplete," May 26).
