Yes Chuck -- I know how you love shit like this. Very "anarchistic." But
please note that Kelly was rightwing propagandist and that's all. So far as
I know he never personally killed or raped anyone, nor did he drop napalm on
peasants or fly airliners into crowded buildings. Let's keep things in
perspective.

And no, Doug, I'm not mourning. I didn't know the guy. But if we who oppose
this and future land grabs are so ready to cheer the deaths of journos we
despise, then what is the basis of our anti-imperialism? It certainly isn't
humanistic when portrayed this way.
