response to bennis?

[Mike Friedman <mikedf@xxxxxxxx>]

Jose,

Has anyone written a thorough critique of Bennis' piece? I notice that UfPJ 
is circulating these capitulationist articles on its mailing list, without 
any counterveiling positions being circulated. Are they making a play for 
democratic party approval, respectability? The earlier writing they 
circulated on police misconduct was congruent with the opinion of most 
democrats who testified at the NYC Council hearing in February, i.e., the 
"few/many bad/good apples" argument.
