Even before the scheduled wake there was controversy about this event—read the comments.
A McHenry County College official said a student group postponed an event featuring poetry by Guantanamo detainees so that the college could arrange for more staffing.
The Student Peace Action Network had planned to have a law professor who worked on unlawful detainment actions for 17 Guantanamo detainees speak at 7 p.m. Thursday. That is the same evening as a wake that has been set for Sgt. Jason McLeod, the Crystal Lake soldier who was killed last week in Afghanistan.
