In the story the Americans who went to Uganda to advise officials there on the evils perpetrated by the queers are now insisting they never meant that the gays should be, you know, killed, not like really executed or anything. Just maybe tormented and jailed and tortured in doomed attempts to convert them to heterosexuality. All for their own good of course.

I was horrified when I first learned of the proposed "kill the queers" law. Now that I know American Christians played a role in this travesty I am disgusted and furious beyond belief.

Did anyone watch it NOT in 3-D? I thought the 3-D work was fantastic. Curious what people who watched it not in 3-D think.

Bobby DeLaughter -- the prosecutor who secured the conviction in the infamous Medgar Evers Mississippi murder case -- is himself now headed to prison.

It was DeLaughter's dogged 1994 prosecution and the subsequent conviction of Ku Klax Klan member Byron De La Beckwith that helped trigger the reopening of dozens of civil rights cold cases.

DeLaughter became an instant hero of the civil rights movement. Alec Baldwin portrayed him in the 1996 movie, "Ghosts of Mississippi," and his closing statement was once dubbed one of the greatest closing arguments in modern law.

"Is it ever too late to do the right thing?" DeLaughter told the jury of eight blacks and four whites. "For the sake of justice and the hope of us as a civilized society, I sincerely hope and pray that it's not."

DeLaughter would go on to become a state judge in 2002. His years in the robe came to an end in 2009, when DeLaughter pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice for lying to an FBI agent in a far-reaching corruption probe that has rocked Mississippi's judicial system.
