These Things Do Get Aroound!
I have been working very hard to disassociate the recent military murder in Iraq from the term "fragging." (see those posts here -- here -- here -- here) Some have wondered why. Here's Why!
Obviously the guy hasn't had enough headlines lately - so he has decided to make a bigger jerk of himself than he already has.
And while we are discussing completely imbecilic ranters that are still adelpated from the 60's can we forget Tom Hayden? He is alive and blogging at HuffPo
One more thing while we're placing loose with words like "fragging" -- consider the word "torture" -- Assumption of Command gets it just right in this must read.
UPDATE 6/30/05
Blackfive has happened on Ward Churchill's inanities and has some great resources to try and upseat Churchill from his teaching post. If anything can bust tenure -- calling for the murder of American military officers ought to qualify!

In January 2005, a group of fifty peace activists from the Vietnam and Iraq eras issued a global appeal to end the war. The appeal proposed undermining the pillars of war (public opinion, funding, troop recruitment, international allies) and building the pillars of peace and justice (an independent anti-war movement linked to justice issues, a progressive Democratic opposition, soldiers and families against the war, a global network to stop the US empire).Is it just me or does that all sound vaguely familiar? You'd think he learned something in the intervening 35 years between those two eras he cites. The rest of us have.
