Brad Hamilton’s article on Moammar Khadafy’s seeking PR counsel calls attention to a serious disconnect in the minds of Libyan leaders when it comes to things like honesty (“Khadafy Looking To Hire a NY PR Rep To Clean Up Image,” July 31).

I hope my PR colleagues will recognize the absurdity of the Libyan government’s alleged concern for appearance for what it is: a shameless attempt to cover over the atrocities for which that government is responsible.
