Former FBI agents say: Anna Mae Awaits Justice 6-27-07 ( Ward Churchill and AIM )
News From Indian Country ^ | 30 June 2007 | Joe Trimbach

June 26, 1975: A date not easily forgotten by FBI Agents. On that horrible day, Special Agents Ron Williams and Jack Coler were gunned down in an open meadow on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. Following the initial hail of fire from the assailants, three gunmen approached the injured Agents and finished them off at close range.

Ron Williams and Jack Coler are known as Service Martyrs, a special designation reserved for Federal Agents who gave their lives while engaged in direct adversarial action.

Their sacrifice is also remembered as the only two Agents in Bureau history to have been executed in the line of duty.

Leonard Peltier, a member of a militant group of Native Americans, later bragged about being the one who shot Ron Williams in the face, as he sat pleading for his life. With the exception of a few days on the lam following a prison break, Peltier has spent the last 30 years behind bars.

Many of his brothers-in-arms, members of the American Indian Movement (AIM), have tried to construct plausible alibis to support his claimed innocence. None of it has stuck, and many of the cover stories have only served to implicate AIM members in other killings, such as the execution-style murder of Anna Mae Pictou Aquash.

There’s an old Lakota saying when roughly translated means that medicine comes to those who need it. Put another way, what goes around, comes around. Well, here it comes.

People familiar with the case believe that once Graham is on American soil, AIM’s legacy is up for grabs. As the embattled Professor Ward Churchill likes to say, the chickens have come home to roost.

The professor, however, would presumably not want the description applied to his old warhorse buddy, AIM leader Russell Means.

"As the embattled Professor Ward Churchill likes to say, the chickens have come home to roost."

Gosh, what a unique, original saying. Ward Churchill must be brilliant for thinking that one up! /sarc

Why would a newspaper from an American Indian group quote a disgraced, phony like Churchill?

I doubt Ward has had an original thought in his life.

He is a serial thief of other’s ideas.

“...Ward Churchill would do himself some good to express a profound apology to people he has offended and misled.

He should also come clean about his appropriated American Indian identity. “

Noting in the following text that one John Graham, as of 26th June has been ordered extradited to the United States. It was the Supreme Court of British Columbia that so ruled. Graham was said to be under house arrest for two years.

I shall be following this up, it had been dormant for some time in my own mind. Canadian T/V did do a documentary on the merciless, sadistic murder of Anna Mae. Old saying coming up.

The wheels of justice may grind slow, but they grind very small.

He will mount an impressive defence and we have to wait and see, hopefully they have the right man. Hard case for the prosecution to prove absolutely no doubt as to his culpability. He may being saying hello to Pelitier in the future.
