Letter to the Editor

To the Editor:

In “Bombs That Would Backfire” (Op-Ed, April 16), Richard Clarke and Steven Simon rightly call on Congress to ask “hard questions” about a possible preventive war against Iran.

Congress’s oversight was an abject failure leading up to the preventive war on Iraq.

If Congress fails to hold the Bush administration accountable on Iran, it will deal another blow to the American constitutional system of checks and balances. Eugene B. Kogan
