I re-read what I had posted, perplexed as I am as to why our more conservative members are trying to paint me as a hypocrite and terrorist sympathizer--go back and re-read my posts folks-I posted an article about the case, expressed cynicism about the timing and integrity of the re-trial, and made a general comment about the many people who have gone to Central and South America to work for social justice, some of who have never returned for one reason or another--

DougR and GuestCanadian would have me defend things that I never said--typical disengenuous trick to harass anyone who doesn't agree totally with them, and to associate them, without justification with the worst possible evils--

I don't have any problem with your expression of whatever views that you might have, but don't like being used as a whipping boy--especially for things I didn't say--
