Great summary and brings back many details I'd known in the past, but forgotten over time. But, you won't see this or any investigation/mention of any of this in the NYT or any other MSM with all the talking/squawking heads about their outrage at the convicted bomber being let go.....hmmm....seems to me I remember Nixon communting Lt. Calley's killing of over 500 Vietnamese in My Lie from life in prison to three years house-arrest [if I remember correctly within a week of his conviction!]....would the same people have screamed or applauded?.....double standards are part and parcel of Empire.
