H Res 867 Passes

Although H Res 867 passed (no surprise there), it is encouraging that some in Congress are not led by the nose: most notably Rep. Dennis Kucinich who understands the dangers of denying the holocaust war crimes:

“Today we journey from Operation Cast Lead to Operation Cast Doubt. Almost as serious as committing war crimes is covering up war crimes, pretending that war crimes were never committed and did not exist.

“Because behind every such deception is the nullification of humanity, the destruction of human dignity, the annihilation of the human spirit, the triumph of Orwellian thinking, the eternal prison of the dark heart of the totalitarian.
