#1 I was very touched by the article about the Pakistani writer's murder in the NWFP in this morning's rantburg. This guy may have been a bit foolish risking his life, but look at his situation. He knew that the Taliban and the Islamic clerics were wrong, he was denied asylum in the US, probably couldn't go to Euro-land. He had no out for him and his family. But he did not shut up. He is a true martyr for what is decent and right about humanity. There are decent people in Pakistan, but they are down at least one today. They should be ashamed, and so should we.
