First:  There is some confusion over the "Devil made it happen" quote regarding the fate of Haiti.  Was it Rush or Robertson?  The majority say Robertson...so there you go.  Quibbling aside, today is Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day and what better way to recognize the price that King paid for holding the country accountable for waging its disgraceful War on the Poor, than freeing a few political prisoners.  King's life proves that prison can't contain the human spirit and  his death that the grave cannot silence The Dream.  So what is gained by locking up leaders for 'speaking truth to power'?  Freedom is not the ace in our political house of cards:  It's the Full House.  either we are all free or no one is free.  Killing strangers in far away places in the name of freedom back home is an insult to the memory of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr....locking people up for their beliefs should be recognized for the disgrace that it is to us all.
