Fair enough criticism. I should have been more specific. I think he did kill the agent. I see peltier's case come up a lot on leftie groups. I think he is romanticized because his cause was armed struggle against an oppressive regime. And so my initial reaction was framed against this position.

Am I willing to concede that the government could have railroaded him? Never! Scalia, Thomas, and Renquist have restored my faith in the US legal system. Now if bush will only bring back Ed Meese.....
