Today they killed my friend

Gibran Tueni, a prominent Lebanese writer and newly elected Member of Parliament, was killed Monday by a powerful car bomb just outside Beirut. Tueni was one of Lebanon's most outspoken opponents of Syria's Machiavellian interference in Lebanese politics. And as George Bernard Shaw was quoted as saying, "Assassination is the extreme form of censorship." Indeed, Tueni was censored.
