From the Pen of David Horowitz: August 29, 2009

From a response to a letter from one of his old leftist colleagues:

I’m glad you wrote this letter. It makes all the pain and all the wounds inflicted on me by you and your comrades since then seem worth it. Because it shows me what wretched human beings I was involved with when I was one of you — when I was a member of the progressive vanguard and at war with the “enemies of the people.”

Your letter shows me that in all these years you haven’t changed a bit. But I have, and it’s the only thing in this whole mess that I’m not sorry about.

– “Who Killed Betty Van Patter” from Salon, 12/13/1999
