Thanks for bringing this dark chapter of Minneapolis’ history back to public attention. Groups have sought to suppress liberties during times of conflict, just when our system of freedoms protects us most. I look forward to reader comments on the new book “The Dark Side: The Inside Story of How The War on Terror Turned into a War on American Ideals” by author Jane Mayer.

To pick up where Ellen left off (if I may be so bold!)….how tragic, but also how courageous. I don’t know too many 10 year olds with that sort of resilence and strength. She sounds like someone worth reading.

Wow, I never heard anything about this book or this awful happening some 70-plus years ago. Of course I wasn’t even born then, but…very sad. And how tragic for a 10 year old to witness the murder of her father and to have to replay that scene over and over in her head.

You don’t get physically killed anymore, but you do get blasted by left-wing/right-wing media character assassins who twist and dupe the media into dismissing you as a right-wing/left-wing nut job with no credibility, even if you’re the only one courageous enough to speak the truth. The media these days is too willing to go along with PR machines that if they ever try some crusading journalism (that’s backed by facts, legitimacy and newsworthiness, and I’m talking to you, KSTP and FOX 9) they get beaten to a journalistic death.
