In his letter, ("No One Listened," Aug. 31) Robert Leppelmeir made some inaccurate claims, inaccurate conclusions and key omissions. His intent was to exonerate George W. Bush for his war against Iraq.
Re: Baby Veronica story: Isn't it just a little odd that the same attorneys in Oklahoma City and South Carolina and the adoption agency are the same parties in the Desaray case in Oklahoma City and are now representing the Capobiancos.
It appears that the Tulsa World and television have reported the Dusten Brown story in a very biased manner. It is not about a "bitter custody battle" for a little girl, but it's all about Dusten Brown.
Knowing only what I read in the newspaper and see on TV, he says he was "tricked." If the man has any love for his daughter Veronica, I call it shallow, self-serving and selfish. "She's mine," he says.
When did the a biological father's rights take precedence over the rights of a biological mother's? When did the Cherokee Nation's rights become more important than county, state and federal laws?
The adoption process is a time-honored way for a couple to choose, love and raise a baby. The Capobiancos are law-abiding citizens and have been treated shamefully.
The Sept. 8 Tulsa World Q&A on the legal battles seemed to emphasize that the only "winners" are the lawyers. Brown obviously has friends in high places.
How about someone starting a fund to help support the Capobiancos to help them return to their home with their daughter and get on with their lives?
