Letters from alumni about Robert Mueller ’66 Thanks for printing my letter. I hope I don't now
become the latest Peter Singer or Shirley Tilghman whipping boy
for all the reactionary old Tigers. Poor Daniel Erdman..... Ken Scudder ’63 Respond

to this letter This letter was prompted by the continuing debate
over the images of FBI Director Robert Mueller ’66 and Secretary
Donald Rumsfeld ’54. Respond
to this letter February
5, 2002 These
two give the U.S. a bad name, and by doing so reflect badly on our
university. I'm glad more people don't know they went to Princeton.
Mueller, who as an attorney should know better, has stonewalled
counsel for more than a thousand immigrants being held incommunicado
and without charge. And Rumsfeld, with his puffed-up, self-righteous
manner and his seeming lack of a "decent regard to the opinions
of mankind" — to say nothing of the lives of anyone other
than Americans — projects just the kind of arrogant, imperialist
persona that is driving even our allies up the wall. I was embarrassed
when he tried to deflect the international outcry over the shocking
photos of drugged, shackled, hooded prisoners in cages with the
lame remark that he was a law school dropout. This was on a par
with President Bush's dumb-and-dumber remark that he'd slept through
his years at Yale. Respond
to this letter December 20, 2001 With reference to your November 21 issue, I want to thank PAW for the articles on Donald Rumsfeld ’54 and Robert Mueller ’66. I was not aware that they were alumni, and I am very proud of them. These articles should also be made available to all undergraduate and graduate students to show Princeton in the nation's service. I also read in the same issue Abhi Raghunathan ’02’s article "The New Reality" (On the Campus), where he indicates that there have been peace activists on campus, debates between students and professors about war and terrorism, plus scathing letters to the editor and stern criticisms of professors on the editorial pages of the Daily Princetonian. I think that Princeton alumni would be very interested in what has been transpiring on campus after September 11, very little of which I have seen in PAW. It would give the alumni some idea of what is going on. For instance, I logged onto the Daily Princetonian today and saw the article by Nicholas Guyatt, a graduate student from England, which basically criticized U.S. policy in the Middle East, not his own country's. Are students getting both sides of the issue? Alumni like me want to know. Allan L. Griffith '60 Glendale, Calif. Respond
to this letter Congratulations on the November.21 articles on the important leadership roles of Donald H. Rumsfield ’54, secretary of defense, and Robert S. Mueller III ’66, FBI director. Princeton has reason to be proud of the contributions that these two are now making to the national welfare of America. Is Princeton today graduating seniors who will be equally qualified to perform major roles in national leadership in future years? Ralph S. Cannon Jr. ’31
