UPI bigwig: Moon was right to bless Hitler?

An individual claiming to be Larry Moffitt, the wire service's VP of planning & development, claims in his gonzo-style online journal that UPI's owner, Rev. Sun Myung Moon, has held a ritual to free Hitler from hell.

Hitler was given The Holy Blessing by Father. My understanding is that regardless of how Hitler felt about any of this, and regardless of the strength of his determination to repent, or lack of it, he was at least cut down from that tree and allowed to begin walking the long and painful course of his restoration. For him, the hard part is just beginning.

But why would Father do even the slightest favor for Adolf Hitler, much less give him the blessing? I am certainly no expert...

And in the Scrapbook: Responding to criticism of this site by Times computer columnist Mark Kellner, who has accused "Where In D.C." of having "picked on a girl."

No, not Lindsay Lohan.

"John Gorenfeld: The first man on the Moon"
-- Ana Marie Cox ("Wonkette," Time.com Washington editor)

"Thanks to the superb reporting of John Gorenfeld on Salon.com and his indispensable Web page, Moon's shenanigans are routinely scrutinized. Maybe some of Gorenfeld's discernment will rub off on preachers and politicians."
-- Tony Norman, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette columnist

"The scene summoned the moment in Robert Graves's "I, Claudius" when Emperor Caligula declares himself a god in the Roman Senate; a fawning solon instantly offers a prayer."
-- New York Times editorial on the Crown of Peace scandal

"I am happy that our work is being challenged and improved in consistency, openness and coordination, by the accountability your spotlight demands. I am not talking about simply removing stuff from websites..."
-- Moon spokesman the Rev. Phil Schanker

"Instead of welcoming Reverend Moon, this government put me into prison. History will reveal the truth in the future and the American government and people will realize what an evil thing they did. What will they do then? They will bow down. Again, that is the way of natural subjugation." -- Moon in 1987

"A political movement basing its appeal on old fashioned patriotism and family values simply cannot justify an alliance with a cult that preys on the disintegration of the American family and advocates allegiance to an international social order operating with cell-like secrecy."
-- Rep. Jim Leach (R-IA)
