It's very depressing. I read what I could stomach (not much) of
the right wing bloggers' opinions about this photographer. It's truly
astounding to me the degree of enmity these fascists hold toward
journalists in general. 

I won't even start to write down what I actually think about Bilal
Hussein's plight.

Thanks for posting.

Scott

p.s. I guess I shouldn't be surprised. I presume most of these fascist
bloggers back up our current fascist administration's openly stated
desire to torture people. God help us.
