Avenging the Dead: National Public Radio Commentator Crispin Sartwell makes his case for avenging the dead of last week's attack. What do you think of his words? (Link is Real Audio)

i think RealAudio is a tool of the devil and needs to be stopped.

It certainly is arrogant of him to think he can speak for the dead and their families.

I think this is the piece you're talking about, at Sartwell's own site. (I can't listen to the RealAudio stuff, so maybe it's elsewhere on crispinsartwell.com.)

Thanks for the link, gleuschk.

Transient, I think he's speaking, in part, for his family (this isn't a "pat on the back" for what he's saying, though). How many of us have close relatives who were murdered (as his brother was)? Just makes me think twice.
