David,

I can only speak for myself.  Are you new to this list and have missed 
the vital information some of us have exchanged around a man who has 
become the latest "victim" of Western democracy, slavery, and 
neo-colonialism?  And, pray tell, what do you mean by "better minds?"  
But before responding, read two of Ngugi wa Thiong'o's works, _Detained: A 
Writer's Prison Diary_, _Moving the Centre: The Struggle for Cultural 
Freedoms-, and Mumia Abu-Jamal's own _Life from Death Row."
