This seems like a contradiction. How can you call him an "apologist" for the prosecution in one sentence and then say that you doubt that he "intended" that in the next? Either he intended it like that and is an apologist or he didn't intend it like that and he isnt an apologist.
Of course, within the context of the thread, I "think" Michael was trying to give an example of those who would justify islamic fundamentalist and stalinist crimes.
One can deplore the prosecution "AND" be critical of Ms. Stewart's statements, can't they? Or is there something flawed and reactionary about boolean algebra?
