Well I (and I suppose many of you out there too) just had the opportunity to
watch J.K. on TV.  It was on the ABC Nightline program of 2-28.  No one
interrupted or heckled her and I was able to hear her through.

It is my opinion that she was, in fact, lying.  I doubt that anyone could
have gotten a different impression.  The exchange about the 35K civilian
deaths in El Salvador during the last year was enough evidence for me.  It
was also quite clear that the purpose of the whole thing, for her, was to
get others to support the administration on this issue -- and not to inform
people as to what was happening in El Salvador.

If I had any doubts as to the justification of heckling J.K. and preventing
her from speaking here in Berkeley a couple of weeks ago, they are now gone.
I don't see why her desire to generate support for policies she is not
truthful or honest about, and using deceit to do so, deserves any respect
from anyone.
