Imprudent?
How about an act of extreme ignorance? How about an act of extreme insult, both to Jews and the Pontiff? How about an act of extreme self-destruction?
What is this guy, 12?
There is destruction here, but I'm not sure if its the Bishop, or the media:
In a letter to the Vatican, Bishop Richard Williamson, who recently denied in a TV interview that 6 million Jews were killed during the Holocaust, called his remarks "imprudent."
This could be a set up. The implication in this statement is that he denied Jews were killed. But literally the articles statement only claims he denied a specific number (6 million) were killed. I am suspicioius about a media that for the last few years have been studiously slanting the news to form a moral equivlence between Islamic radicals and decent people.
As far as I know at this point, the guy may have been nuts, or he may have thought 5.7 million was a better estimate than 6 million and then the drive-by media assinated his character by hyped implication.
