[Peace-discuss] Unwanted right wing mail

[Alfred Kagan]

Actually, I got something else. A normal white business envelope. 
The return address is "F.Y.I."  It contains several articles that are 
strangely anti-war, but more anti-mass media.  Some talk about not 
finishing the job in the first Gulf War. The author of two is Charles 
Reese. Two are from Mediabypass.com.  There is also a letter from 
Eugene V. Thompson of Danville, but there is no indication on where 
it appeared.

Anybody else get these?
