Theo Van Gogh
From Bridget Johnson, writing in WSJ:
"It's stunning how silent the American artistic community, Hollywood in particular, has been about the murder of Dutch filmmaker Theo Van Gogh in Amsterdam...Do they care someone was killed for making a film which protested violent abuse against women? Are they even interested?
"...You didn't see the National Rifle Association order a hit on Michael Moore over Bowling for Columbine."
Nor do you see immigrants to the United States subjected to the same fear and threats as, say, Americans and Westerners in Iraq, as Rupert Murdoch testifies in an adjacent piece.
