Letter to the Editor,
P.O. Box 406,
Myrtle Beach, SC 29578

Dear Editor-in-Chief,
            I am writing this letter to address the topic of Leonard Peltier’s Freedom.   Many people say that he should finish his time and they don’t actually know who killed the agents.   My concern with this issue is that Mr. Peltier is serving time for a crime he did not commit and his rights are no different from ours even if he is part of the American Indian Movement (AIM).   AIM was called to help people on the reservation being targeted by the Guardians of the Oglala Nation (GOONs) who were trained by the FBI and CIA.   Evidence shows the FBI supplied the GOONs with information on AIM members; looking away as the GOONs killed 57 people on the Pine Ridge Reservation between December 6, 1972-March 27, 1977.   After carefully looking at all the evidence I could find, Mr. Peltier is innocent.
Sincerely,

Star Haislip
