- Good Morning from the Zundelsite:
-
- By now, I have collected about 1500 letters and testimonials
of endorsement of Ernst Zundel, but few are as sharp and to the point as
this one. It was written and faxed to Canadian Prime Minister Martin by
Bo Gritz, a well-known name to many:
-
- [START]

- PRIME MINISTER PAUL MARTIN
- Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

- RE: Ernst Zundel -- Political Prisoner
-
- Sir: I have served with Canadian paratroop officers,
e.g. Col Gil R. Bellavance and Capt Kenneth R. Crichton on extremely challenging
special operations missions of long duration and found them to be among
the bravest and most patriotic officers I've ever known. General Westmoreland
featured me as "The" American Soldier in his memoirs. I've always
viewed Canadians as dear family. For these reasons and my profound respect
for your nation, I cannot understand why Ernst Zundel is being mistreated
as your prisoner?
-
- While I spent the better part of four years fighting
Communists in Southeast Asia, you allowed Americans to settle in Canada
in violation of U.S. law. Jimmy Carter forgave them, as did I. With such
an eye toward liberalism, how can citizen Zundel be treated as if he is
under the heel of Hitler, Stalin, or Mao? Even the misfortunes of Abu Graib
seem more inviting than what Zundel is enduring. Why?
-
- Has Zundel committed any crime of violence? Has he stolen
or destroyed any property not his own? Has he cheated anyone out of their
fortune? Is he a habitual criminal with no hope of redemption? Why is he
denied simple human rights accorded even those guilty of murder, arson,
and rape? Sir, we can expect twisted minds which rule North Korea and such
examples already given, who place no value on life, to mistreat people,
but not in Canada!
-
- I know Ernst Zundel. I've met him both in Canada and
the USA. I don't share his political enthusiasms, but he isn't a person
of violence; he speaks well and seems to be intelligent. I know Zundal
takes issue with accepted holocaust data. I believe if even one person
wrongly suffers at the hands of government, those responsible should be
held accountable -- which happened at Nuremberg. Must it be repeated in
Canada?
-
- Release Ernst Zundel and stop the disgraceful treatment.
-
- Most Respectfully,
-
- James Bo Gritz, Commander U.S. Special Forces (ret)]
