LETTERS
The \"journalistic frauds\" discussed by Adrian Peracchio {\"Beware Journalism's Lawyers and Its Poets,\" Viewpoints, July 9} are considerably more damaging than he seems to concede. Responsible journalists do not simply feel we are \"watching the results of a car wreck,\" but that we are trapped in that wreckage ourselves because of shameful acts by irresponsible professional colleagues. The law is in place so that innocent people cannot be forced into being tested. Until the trial, the suspect is innocent until proved guilty. (Sorry - that's how it is in this country.) Until a guilty verdict is given, the suspect is just that: a suspect. An alleged rapist. After a guilty verdict, he becomes, legally, a convicted rapist, and he can be tested. Otherwise, the risk is run that innocent people will be tested against their will - and that is illegal. Ed Seiter. Levittown. AARP is far from losing its way. In fact, AARP is urging all Americans to become involved in the debate about needed reforms in Social Security and the larger discussion about how to improve economic security in retirement. This debate must include not only our current members but also their children and grandchildren. That is what AARP's participation in the Great Social Security Debate is all about. And that is why AARP agreed, at the request of the White House, to co-sponsor these forums.

HURTING SENIORS
While your Oct. 12 editorial (\"Defy AARP and adjust the COLAs\") rightly predicts that \"billions of dollars\" could be saved by reducing the Consumer Price Index (CPI) by one percent a year, it blatantly ignores the grave impact such a cut would have on millions of Americans.

Don't short Social Security, Medicare
The federal deficit and the growing interest payments it causes pose a serious threat to our nation's economic security. The American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) strongly believes that a solution to the deficit needs to be developed that is equitable to all Americans. While it is encouraging to see that more attention is being focused on the deficit, some commentators are placing the blame on entitlement programs such as Social Security and Medicare that help older people. This argument suggests that these programs are bankrupting the federal treasury and that older people are benefiting at the expense of younger people. Social Security is lifetime protection program that helps all Americans plan for their old age as well as protects them from economic hardship caused by disability or the death of the wage-earner in the family. While Social Security alone will not ensure a comfortable retirement, it provides the foundation for economic security for workers and their families after they retire.
