From the page: "Rep. Duncan Hunter Jr. (R-CA-52) had an interesting comment on the debate over an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act that would rescind a Bush-era policy classifying the names of attendees at the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation (formerly known as the School of the Americas). The amendment, offered by Rep. Jim McGovern (D-MA-03), Joe Sestak (D-PA-07), Sanford Bishop (D-GA-02) and John Lewis (D-GA-05), would require public disclosure of the names of the Institute's attendees. In opposing the amendment, Rep. Hunter said that by releasing the names of attendees publicly -- as was routinely the case prior to 2006 -- "you are literally encouraging their murder." What an interesting thing to say, in light of continuing right-wing insistence that no such thing is true with regard to the public posting of much more specific identifying and actual targeting information about certain women's health providers, don't you think? And as it happens, Rep. Hunter's pronouncement also comes at a time when right-wing superkook Michael Savage has announced his intention to post similar information regarding the staff of Media Matters."
