Many readers have sent me links about the murder of Neda Soltani, an Iranian philosophy student shot dead by the theocracy's stormtroopers doing what all lethal agents of the state do, ending life indiscriminately. Some links here, here, and here. She was attending a protest against the fraudulent elections with her philosophy professor and some fellow students. As J. Brendan Ritchie, a grad student at Maryland, wrote to me: "This terrible tragedy is a graphic reminder that there are philosophical colleagues (professors and students) who are fighting on the streets of Tehran for the ideals they have no doubt passionately argued for."
