I still can't believe you ran a picture of Hillary Clinton with a bull's-eye covering her face (Commentary, Jan. 14). Did it ever occur to anyone on your staff that it was not only rude but potentially dangerous as well? Forget long-past assassinations this country has seen; look at recent history. I've lost track of how many lunatics have been arrested attempting to get over the White House fence, never mind the gunmen and the kamikaze pilot.
Granted your bull's-eye was generic - it did not have cross-hairs - but what were you thinking when you printed it?
