Jack Valenti was a great man; a much respected business executive; a husband; father; and a friend.

He passed away two years ago. His funeral was attended by the best and the brightest in the world. He is missed terribly by his family; friends; the industry he served; and our great city.

He lived a full and terrific life filled with dignity, respect and courage. He was a great family man. I consider his son to be a good friend. His wife is lovely and very philanthropic here in DC. She and Jack were married forever it seemed.

To publish stories about someone who has passed away from secret anonymous files from 50 years ago just shows a complete disregard for human emotion, empathy and dignity.

Why did the Washington Post put this story on its front page?

Why has it rippled all over the world through print and online media?

What are we coming to in this world?

Let Jack Valenti rest in peace. His family should not have to deal with this kind of innuendo and media attention.

The media should be ashamed and our government who did this kind of investigation should be doubly ashamed too.
