However extreme one may find HRL’s views, it does not excuse the curtailment of a right of speech. While there is some truth to student sentiment that HRL’s campaign tends toward a sensationalizing of the abortion debate—and HRL would perhaps serve its purpose better if it did not alienate more centrist students in the way this campaign is likely to—these posters are hardly beyond...
...become one of the country's wealthiest people. Fairfax's new Sydney-based boss, David Kirk, is a former captain of the All Blacks. And if it seemed almost every computer owner in New Zealand had a personal stake in Trade Me, it wasn't far from the truth: the site has 1.2 million members and gets 63% of the country's Web traffic.

Why couldn't he write his own statement about something supposedly so straightforward? How could relaying facts be beyond his ability? If only Cheney were committed to truth and transparency, and if only he were candid enough to face the public outside the comfort zone of Fox News. The media overreacted to the delay in reporting the shooting, but Cheney's excuses attest to his secretiveness...
