A prominent gay rights activist in Cameroon was tortured and killed just weeks after issuing a public warning about the threat posed by "anti-gay thugs," Human Rights Watch said.
Friends discovered the body of Eric Ohena Lembembe at his home in the capital, Yaounde, on Monday evening after he was unreachable for two days, the rights group said in a statement Tuesday.

Since the very next story is about recent profits earned by Goldman Sachs, I am kinda wondering if Matt is trying to tell us something.

Photo placement and the wording of certain headlines on Drudge's site usually send a hidden message, as Kevin DuJan noted at his site, HillBuzz (http://hillbuzz.org/is-barack-obama-gay). ^-^
