According to Cambridge political pundit Robert Winters, Vellucci’s attacks on Harvard were not merely personal but also bore political utility...
...hardware currently deployed in aceh-U.S.-supplied bombers, British-made jets, tanks, armored troop carriers, assault helicopters, warships-it was a slate-gray Japanese sedan that unnerved us journalists the most. The car bore a large sign reading "Press," yet it carried several uniformed men with guns. Who were they? Rebels of the Free Aceh Movement (GAM)?

The BGLTSA’s posters, each of which bore the name of the dead and the means and date of death, exploited the very people whom the event meant to commemorate—these posters were nothing more than spectacles, a show of political engagement devoid of any efficacy. There is no action in the BGLTSA’s activism...
