DRUG RAIDS GONE WRONG

Regarding the Dec. 17 Randy Bish editorial cartoon of Christina
Korbe: Given the content of the released "jailhouse" recordings of
Korbe threatening to kill others, including her mother-in-law, it's
clear she is far wide of the definition of a "good mother."

The FBI, however, is at fault for being strategically lax in
attempting to make an arrest of a known armed and dangerous suspect
with full knowledge there were two young children in the house.

I'm uncertain of what "right" might come from these two wrongs, where
one life was lost and several others were destroyed, but it bears
close scrutiny of both sides.

I'd define that ... as tragedy.
