DANGER, DANGER!! It is sad to see that fellow conservatives have no institutional memory -- or that any of you appear aware of the real meaning of this.
The 3 men killed were NOT "civil rights workers". They were communist agitators. Notice the article doesn't give their names, only the mother's name. She is the mother of Andrew Goodman. Goodman's father was the owener of Pacificia Radio in New York City. He was a communist. Check out Pacificia Radio's own web site and see how they (transparently) dissemble the truth. Go to:

(Look at the chronology circa 1962. I don't know why they got the date wrong.)
What's the real meaning here? The Justice Department's crypto communist lawyers have now got sufficient control of the apparatus that they are going after their old adversaries. Just like Pinochet in Chile. Be warned -- the Department of Justice is honeycombed with crypto communists in their legal ranks. WAKE UP TO THE REAL THREAT!!!
I do not condone what this man is said to have done, but how in the name of tarnation all these years later, can he get a fair hearing?.
Are you Klan?
And, the article does name them:
But until recently there has been little progress in building murder cases against those involved in the Ku Klux Klan slayings of civil rights workers James Chaney, Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner.
A black and two Jews. The worst kind of people in Mississippi in the 60s, outside of those nasty Papists.
"Commie agitators" was code in the segregationist south for anybody who thought blacks should be equal. And oh how those ole boys hated anybody who thought separate drinking fountains were an abomination.
Do you guys still call the FBI "Hoover boys"?
When somebody starts telling me, a 54 year old white male who grew up in Texas, that I don't "know what it was like back then" when the "negras" wanted the vote, that I don't have the "institutional memory", I start looking for the sheets.
How you could justify the beatings, murders and burial in an earthen dam by the Klan is beyond me--unless you think the Klan's role as judge, jury and executioner is appropriate.
I'm sorry, but that's ridiculous. The Mississippi AG is behind this investigation. This guy was arrested on STATE charges, after the AG convened a grand jury in Philadelphia. There is no "federal interference" here, period.
This is Mississippi taking care of its own problems (however belatedly). At least, give us credit for that.
I see the "old south" still gasps for air at the edge of the swamp.
I do not suppose the "Weathermen" et al lose any sleep these days..Hillary defended home grown American terrorists in a torture murder case. Ho hum, I guess, ones views do get flamed here. I checked your profile. Glad you got your views across. I do not have to agree with them- like anyone else.
"The 3 men killed were NOT "civil rights workers". They were communist agitators."
It's legal to kill communists?
Go back, being from the past! Go back while you still can! Go back before the worm hole closes and you must remain here in the 21st century for the rest of your life! Go, now!
I find it ironic that Communists who do not believe in voting would go down to Mississippi to Register Black people to vote.
Great insight you have there. And you claim to have once worked in "Military Intelligence." Look like you put the Moron in the adage of "Military Intelligence" being an oxymoron.
So it's okay to commit murder if they're communist agitators?
Not in MY America.
