IN the May 23 edition of the Globe, James Roberts does an injustice to correspondents who prefer to remain anonymous.

This is not an unusual practice and there is nothing inherently strange or sinister about it.

Some people prefer to retain a degree of privacy that could be put at risk by having their name and hometown published.

This does not mean that they lack courage of their convictions, and it does not invalidate their point of view.

It is also a bit rich for Mr Roberts to accuse the anonymous correspondent's letter of being devoid of any factual reality, when he himself had a letter published several months ago in which he promoted the nonsense that President John F Kennedy was assassinated as a result of a conspiracy by the CIA and the US military.

There is absolutely no evidence at all of this; all the evidence proves beyond doubt that Lee Harvey Oswald was the assassin and acted alone (and please don't cite the film JFK as evidence; that film is bunk from start to finish).
