Trapping the foxy

To the editor:

After reading your breaking news article titled, “Paper sues over refusal to release raid texts”, I felt compelled to look up the Biblical verse on which the 1941 movie “The Little Foxes” is based.

“Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes.” — Solomon 2:15

Marion’s little foxes schemed against their perceived enemies, transparency, and a free press, and continue to scheme to this day.

Now the issue is money. Prior to the bogus raid, the issue was power.

As in the story told in the movie, they’ll be left with neither.
