December 10, 2001 It is outrageous that even now, as our military forces need to be at their absolute best in terms of bombing training, anti-military groups are protesting the use of the Vieques Island training range. I suppose that the allure of miles of open beach, just waiting to be developed by real estate interests, outweighs any patriotic need. But I shouldn't be surprised, since the governor of Puerto Rico has gone on record saying that Puerto Ricans are not Americans, but are simply being governed by the United States. Maybe it's time to grant her wish, complete independence from the United States, including freedom from the billions of dollars Americans send Puerto Rico in aid every year. Bob Checchio Dunellen, Nov. 23
