To the editor: I learn this text with nice unhappiness (“Eulogy for the CIA Factbook: The free standard for world facts, long an educational staple, is gone,” April 6). One other mental staple is gone.
Day-after-day, we learn concerning the modifications to, or the dismantling of, applications on the Facilities for Illness Management and Prevention and the Division of Training, about assaults on our regulation companies, our media and our universities. We’re enduring the expense of tariffs and the uncertainty of an surprising conflict.
In my opinion, I see this administration, systematically and what appears deliberately, making us unhealthy, unwealthy, unwise and unsafe.
I’m afraid that the defunding of the CIA World Factbook received’t be the final assault on our mind or on our capacity to coach the world. And for what purpose?
