This weekend, we learned that that a federal grand jury is investigating whether there was a broader conspiracy behind last year's murder of George Tiller. It's a near-certainty who one of the witnesses will be--Cheryl Sullenger, the senior policy director for Operation Rescue.
Sullenger, for those who don't know, was in frequent contact with triggerman Scott Roeder before Tiller's death. In fact, her phone number was found on Roeder's dashboard. She initially denied any contact with him, but later admitted she'd helped Roeder keep track of Tiller's court appearances.
Even if Sullenger didn't do anything criminal, she displayed a staggering degree of irresponsibility--staggering enough that this calls for what is largely a repost of a diary I wrote yesterday. She had to have known Tiller had been marked for death by pro-life extremists. And yet she gives Tiller's court dates (at the very least) to someone who is basically off the street? Her continued employment at Operation Rescue is an outrage, and if she isn't willing to resign, she needs to be fired.
