James Douglass's interview with former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark was very revealing.
American Indian Movement leader Leonard Peltier has been in prison more than twenty years for the murder of two federal agents. The government admits it does not know who actually committed the murders; nevertheless, Peltier remains behind bars. Clark is Peltier's lawyer, and Clark wrote a preface to Peltier's book, Prison Writings. The preface begins:
I want to tell you why the freedom of Leonard Peltier is so important.There are well over two hundred million indigenous people on the planet, maybe as many as three hundred million. They live on six continents and on countless numbers of islands. And everywhere they are the most endangered of the human species. Yet the survival of humanity depends upon their salvation.
Leonard Peltier is the symbol of the struggle...
And so on and so on, recounting the outrages dealt Peltier, sounding duly angered.
Clark is clearly aware of the willingness and the power of the FBI and the Department of Justice to railroad suspects for political purposes. And before the death of alleged assassin James Ray, Clark called for a new congressional inquiry into the murder of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. So, I was starting to think that Clark had finally realized the state of affairs in this nation; and I wondered when he would concede some mystery in the murder of President Kennedy. Unfortunately, Douglass's interview with Clark convinces me that I will have to wait a long time.
