Fareed Zakaria: A class act…..

as usual. I note his reactions to the ADLs’ reactions to a Mosque to be built near Ground Zero in New York City:

"Five years ago, the ADL honored me with its Hubert H. Humphrey First Amendment Freedoms Prize," Zakaria writes in next week's Newsweek. "I was thrilled to get the award from an organization that I had long admired. But I cannot in good conscience keep it anymore. I have returned both the handsome plaque and the $10,000 honorarium that came with it. I urge the ADL to reverse its decision. Admitting an error is a small price to pay to regain a reputation."

P.S. My understanding is the Mosque was where it is before 9/11.
P.P.S. I am having trouble with Cut & Paste. I have no idea why/how it worked this time. (Fingers crossed)
