Subject: RE: BS: Petition to Free Leonard Peltier
Maybe the guy is innocent. Maybe the the guy got a raw deal in the legal system. Maybe the guy is mistreated in jail, beyond the treatment of others. Maybe the case deserves another legal review?

If that were the case, why not focus on that and put direct information forward (not lot loads of indirect loosely related web links about the indian movement, law enforcement and the legal system in general).

Is a goal is to convert the open minded, or to reinforce the already converted?

Draging one or more conspiracy theories into it, and asking people to read "loads of somewhat indirectly related material" on the courts, IMO, does nothing more than discredit valid points, and turn logical thinlkers off.
