JESSE WALKER IS ENCOURAGING people to write letters to The Nation in response to the awful Jon Wiener piece on Michael Bellesiles:

The many bloggers who are damning Wiener’s piece on their sites should also write letters to The Nation, keeping their tone moderate (no “fiskings,” please) but their critique sharp. Wiener’s article could not possibly be meant to persuade people who are actually familiar with Bellesiles’s errors and frauds; it was more likely intended as reassurance for Nation readers who were vaguely aware that the Second Amendment crowd was winning an argument but hadn’t been following the debate closely. They deserve to hear the other side make its case.

He’s got links to the article, some replies, and to the Nation’s email address.
