Interesting. The rather long article relates all of the irregularites and misrepresentations that were found in the perp's school records. Whether or not the missing money went to fund terrorism, there clearly was theft and fraud involved here. Yet the Mercury News chose this subheadline:
DID SCHOOL MONEY FUND EXTREMISTS OR IS THIS ACTIVIST A VICTIM OF PREJUDICE?
Al fuqra ping.
Keep in mind the Merc was also out front reportinhg allegations about alleged CIA involvement in fomenting the crack crisis in LA.
I guess I could add a question mark to the comment I added in parens. The byline you pose the question to was too long to squeeze in so I took some creative license in what was added on.
