Man guilty of 'Ku Klux Klan' kidnaps
AP
Published: 15 June 2007
A reputed member of white supremacist group the Ku Klux Klan has been found guilty in the US of kidnapping and conspiracy in the 1964 deaths of two black teenagers.

James Ford Seale, 71, had pleaded not guilty to charges related to the deaths of Charles Eddie Moore and Henry Hezekiah Dee in south-west Mississippi.


The 19-year-olds disappeared from Franklin County on May 2, 1964, and their bodies were found later in the Mississippi River.


The jury in Jackson, Mississippi, was told the victims were hitchhiking, stopped by Klansmen and taken to a forest where they were beaten. The Klansmen were trying to find out if blacks were bringing firearms into Franklin County, it is claimed.

2. That is why you won't hear about this in the U.S. No Freedom of the press!

The Independent is in the UK! Go there for news.

3. You are mostly correct My Dear
But I live in Mississippi and this is big news in this state. The few big dailys have it on the front page. But you are right, most likely not a national story.

4. I heard it on CNN about 4, long before you posted it here.

I agree that the Independent is a better source of news about much of what's going on politically today but this story was reported. I heard something about it yesterday, too, I guess that the jury was deliberating.

5. Bush's hate black people
Both Prescott and George H W ran on Eugenics tickets and lost.
They are smart enough lizards to change colors when need be.
Shit bird Bush learned from history and stayed away from public support of racism
Though the racists are his base.
Is it 20% these days?
