The letter to President Obama protesting his designation of Charles
Freeman as chairman as of the National Intelligence Council appears here. I neglected to attach the names which, both Chinese and American (and
Chinese American), are interesting in and of themselves. Here they are below.
I believe that the Freeman appointment is the most disastrous one Obama has made. It is both unprofessional and cruel.
