If it continues this guarantee of support, indiscriminately--"Whatever you do, client state Israel, we will be backing you regardless of the actions that you take"--then peace is not going to come...

Wendy Murphy is a lawyer and the founder and director of the Victim Advocacy & Research Group in Boston, and it was her client, who she says is now a 45-year-old father and "a very respectable, responsible, highly regarded citizen," who brought the allegation against Father Spagnolia. She feels the Lowell priest's campaign has, if anything, damaged the search for justice.
