So the former chief of the U.S. Park Police, Teresa C. Chambers, was fired in 2004 for warning of problems with staffing and security, and now, four years later, we have a front-page, above-the-fold story confirming her warnings ["Park Police Rebuked for Weak Security," Feb. 4].

Tell me again, why was Ms. Chambers fired, and why is Dwight E. Pettiford in charge of the Park Police?
