I went to school with Condeleeza Rice, Sean Berlet, and I didn't know Professor Vincent Harding, either.
Harding, I just found out from Democracy Now, wrote Rev. Martin Luther King's great Vietnam speech which is dead-on for Iraq, too. It's been right since the colonials sided against blacks and the Brits recruited black guerillas, and since Andy Jackson sunk in the quagmire of the Everglades in the first Vietnam, chasing escaped slaves and Seminoles. I think King's Vietnam speech was given exactly one year before the day he was assassinated by CIA Bush-whackers and FBI COINTELOP. Then his prescient Mountaintop speech was given the day before the militarism warned of in the Vietnam speech raised its ugly head. Merrill McCullough, CIA lifer, was not mentioned on Democracy Now. Instead they interviewed a Memphis homicide detective who said that all black police in his unit were called off King security duty for the hit, but (black) McCullough was there to position King near the edge of the balcony so the sniper in the bushes could do the job from the Dallas-stormdrain angle instead of the Green Beret backup team on the firehouse roof. Apparently not all black security men were called off, in other words, Amy. Reagan-era Whitehouse reporter Sam Donaldson later in the 1990's found Merrill McCullough still working for CIA in DC.
