Cunningham’s crimes

Re “Cunningham’s Fall From Grace, Power,” Dec. 5
Recently resigned Rep. Randy “Duke” Cunningham (R-Rancho Santa Fe) has admitted committing a string of felonies. But he has not been charged with the worst crime he committed, which was trying to get an honest public official, Pentagon official Lou Kratz, fired for doing his job. Cunningham took a bribe and Kratz got in the way of the payoff on the bribe. This despicable act of trying to destroy an honest man’s career needs to be remembered when the judge decides the length of his sentence.
