Dear Creech Security:
In your April 12, 2010 correspondence responding to my April 3, 2010 article, “Air Force Paranoia at Creech,“ you mentioned the Air Force was paranoid, however not in regard to peaceful demonstrators. Knowing little about Air Force paranoia I decided to research the subject particularly regarding the Predator and Reaper and other drones. You are correct in asserting the Air Force is a paranoid. Unfortunately some of the paranoia is directed at peace demonstrators.

(For the record, I spoke with the author of this letter before publishing it to be sure he was comfortable with this. He was fine but did ask me to remove his name, phone number and email, as he was concerned about an overload of possible correspondence. This seemed reasonable to me and I have complied with this request. Paz, John)
