Klansman arrested

Edgar Ray Killen, 79, of Neshoba County Mississippi, an outspoken white-supremacist nicknamed "preacher" was arrested on Thursday for the 1964 killings of civil rights workers in Philadelphia, Misississippi. Killen, a reputed Klansman, has been a long-time suspect and was in fact tried once with 19 others in 1967 with the result for his trial being a hung jury. The story of this murder was told in the movie "Mississippi Burning". It took them 40 years to get him but they finally did. I have no use for white supremacists, if they want to have their own country, they should be given one, on the moon. This guy, if found guilty, should be kept in the regular prison population which has a majority minority population. While he survived, it would be Hell for him. I don't support murder or capital punishment, but accidents happen.

In Iraq, one American died today, bringing the total for January to 18 and the total for the war to 1351.
