  Protesting Cheney at Brigham Young University of all places. BYU has asked Dick Cheney to give the commencement speech on April 26. It's sparked quite a controversy in the heart of Bush Country. And now it's too late to withdraw the invitation.

The Washington Post article distorted the truth. There were 200 demonstrators against Cheney and about 75 pro Cheney demonstrators. I'd like to know where the 400 people who signed a petition supporting Cheney came from and where did they go. There were only 275 protestors.

In any event, Miss Manners would approve. The students were conducting a thoughtful debate and the university accomodated them. Think Progress has a video which puts the BYU administration in a different light. I still think that democracy is alive and well in Provo, Utah.
