They did it for Castro in Cuba too.
It's they don't want to appear as if, even though we know all the facts, even though we know all the information, we don't want to be dancing on somebody's grave.
We don't want to be taking the death of someone as an excuse to punch down at them.
In this case, literally, I think probably punch down at them.
Because that would be mean-spirited or bad or lack the kind of context of why other people might see them differently.

Maybe we don't understand them.
It is the only time, I think, the media is willing to look at someone who they otherwise don't agree with and say, maybe we should take more seriously their concerns.
And I think one of the reasons that they do it is because it does kick up these weird firestorms where they get all the wrong people, or in their book, all the right people,
saying all sorts of mean things about them and they can stand back and say, you know, with their kind of clipboard and their lab coat and say, we just did it the way we're supposed to.

They don't.
They certainly don't.

He had a book tour of a best-selling book.
