I have about as much sympathy for Brad Will as I did for Rachael Corrie. Which is to say, none. His role there was to create propaganda for the terrorist left in Mexico. He got about what he deserved.
Having read more about it, that's my feeling, too. Didn't one of these indymedia types buy the farm in Iraq or the Palestinian territory a couple of years ago while trying to create propanda for the enemy? I don't remember which country it was or the details.
Oddly enough, these leftist fake-journalists usually get shot by the very people whose side they are on. But I guess that's what they get being a dumb lefty - and dumb they are.
