Amy Goodman on How the FBI and Local Police Failed Dr. Tiller
Truthdig: Dr. George Tiller Didn’t Have to Die, by Amy Goodman:
George Tiller did not have to die. He was assassinated while in church
in Wichita, Kan., on Sunday, targeted for legally performing abortions.
His death might have been prevented simply through enforcement of
existing laws. His alleged killer was seen vandalizing a Kansas City
clinic, Aid for Women, both the week before and the day before the
murder, putting glue into its door locks. The manager of that clinic,
who calls himself “Jeff Pederson” to protect his identity, told me he
called the FBI and local police both times, but the vandal, the alleged
killer Scott Roeder, was not arrested. Pederson had Roeder’s first name
and his license-plate number. He had images of him on the security
video. He recognized him from previous protests.
