It's tempting to reply to the effect that he's a supporter of Bush and the neocon agenda, but that's irrelevent. I've read the quotes, and I've never liked Robertson. That said, he never made a threat agains Chavez. He never asked any of his followers to kill the man. He offered his unsolicited opinion that the CIA should assasinate him. Suggesting that a government agency should kill a foreign leader may be stupid, mean, immoral, and a number of other things, but it's not illegal to offer a mean, stupid, and immoral opinion. If he were funding an undercover operation to kill someone - anyone - then he could be arrested under any number of laws. But we're very short on evidence that's the case, and long on rhetoric about his hypocritic nature. I'm not trying to support the man, just trying to inject a little reason back into the discussion. --- David _______________________________________________ Biofuel mailing list Biofuel@sustainablelists.org http://sustainablelists.org/mailman/listinfo/biofuel_sustainablelists.org Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Search the combined Biofuel and Biofuels-biz list archives (50,000 messages): http://www.mail-archive.com/biofuel@sustainablelists.org/
