The letter, from Lt. Col. Steve Butler, was published May 26 in the Monterey County Herald. "He did nothing to warn the American people because he needed this war on terrorism," Butler wrote. "His daddy had Saddam and he needed Osama. His presidency was going nowhere. . . . This guy is a joke." Butler, a vice chancellor at the Defense Language Institute in Monterey, Calif., was suspended May 29 pending an investigation, an Air Force spokeswoman said today. © 2002 The Washington Post Company
