Even if he was freelancing for them, that does not give him the right to speak for them. A bigger scandal at National Geographic that never seems to be mentioned here is that they ripped off scores of photographers with their CDs and DVDs of their magazines. Where's the call for boycotts? One of our very own former LUG users has a significant claim against them. Fred Ward with 870 images they have refused to pay for. NOT the editors or staff, but the people at the very top who made the decision to save a buck, and alienate the very people who made them what they are.

Judging this limit is the true artistry of government. Misuse of power is the fatal sin. The law cannot be a tool of vengeance, never a hostage, nor a mortification against the martyrs it has created.
