My condolences to family and friends. He seemed like a great and principled man, who had courage to fight for what he believed in. I honored him by donating to the ACLU.

At risk is jumping to conclusions without full investigation, autopsy and evidence, we know about the utter hatred and demonizing of the ACLU by the wingnuts, right wing radio, and Republicans. The fact that these torture memos just surfaced that put in legal jeopardy powerful members of the former Bush administration (ie hit squad Cheney) has to be considered possible motive. His body was found in a "wooded area" floating face down in the water. Sure looks like homicide. Who would want to murder him?

1. random act of violence
2. personal unrelated to his work
3. lone wolf pro-life homophobic, anti-Semitic etc.. right wing nutcase
4. professional hit by ?- to intimidate ACLU

my bet is on 3 or 4.
