Your recent article uses various descriptions to explain the reasons for the abuse to citizen Chong; e.g. accidentally, blunders, oversight, mistakes, inattention to duty, forgot about him. The U-T can't be sincere. The DEA thugs intentionally hurt Mr. Chong and one of them ought to be in jail. Even our federal cops can't be so dumb as to misplace a person in clear view for five days. How was it Mr. Chong heard voices speaking on the other side of the door but the officers couldn't hear his screams and cries? A serious crime was committed against Mr. Chong and, $4 million notwithstanding, prosecution must be done. Hal Thompson San Diego - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
