It is important to understand the Jihadist mindset.
During the Jihadist Terrorist attack attack on the Chabad House in Mumbai, they mutilated the genitals of the Rabbi and his wife to torture them before they were killed.
They shot a pregnant woman in the Taj Hotel in Mumbai, when she asked the Jihadists for mercy.

Your story on Thomas Tamm illustrates the best and worst in our society. I am a World War II veteran who lost a high-school buddy in Belgium. Like so many others, we were fighting for the very things Tamm was willing to risk everything for. It is disgusting that this man is on the run when he should be receiving a medal for his actions. I am sure the majority of Americans fully support him.

No one who attended Landon school in Bethesda, Maryland, in the late 1960s, as I did, will be at all surprised to learn that Tom Tamm ended up risking it all to do the right thing. In his senior year, for instance, Tom, then the president of the student council, decided to turn himself in to the rest of the council for some minor infraction unknown to anyone else (and ultimately warranting no punishment). It showed the same character and a burgeoning morality that years later would compel him to do what he did.

So let me get this straight: Thomas Tamm decided not to follow established procedure but instead disclosed confidential information to the press, close to a presidential election. And you justify his actions? The guy is guilty. The end does not justify the means—not for Thomas Tamm, and not for the FBI, which was conducting illegal wiretaps. I feel sorry for his family, but he should go to prison.

When the government secretly breaks the law, dupes judges and violates the Fourth Amendment, what do you call Thomas Tamm? Whistle-blower. Hero. Courageous patriot. Defender of the Constitution and the rule of law. I am contributing to attorney Tamm's legal-defense fund.

India's Weakened State
Shekhar Gupta deserves credit for explaining the domestic political background to the Mumbai terror attacks ("The Problem Is Politics," Dec. 8). One can only hope that, come the May elections, a national antiterrorist consensus among the major Indian political parties will have been established. It's a question of national survival. It will also be a major test for the Obama administration's foreign-policy team, led by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. The U.S. can't afford yet another crisis in the Middle East and needs Indian and Pakistani support in the regional fight against terrorism.
