I agree. If we don't know, we don't have to speculate that the motive was ugly. I don't know Edwards; maybe he's a terrible person who would use his wife's illness purely for political gain, but I'd rather give them the benefit of the doubt, especially under the difficult circumstances they are facing.

Uncalled for, this isn't DU.

If only it were truly uncalled for. Unfortunatey, Bibchr's admonishment was called for. Those of who remember the mods franticly removing posts and eventually locking threads when Chris Reeve died, or when it was announced that Peter Jennings had cancer understand just how necessary such admonishments can be. So far, history doesn't seem to be repeating itself. I am at 80, and thus far only one comment removed by the mod.
