The Revealer hasn't gone easy on NYT columnist Nicholas D. Kristof in the past -- his religious ignorance, combined with his sanctimoniousness, has resulted in some breathtakingly bad columns -- but we're on his side today. "Saying No to Killers" tells the overlooked tale of Carl Wilkins, a Seventh-day Adventist missionary who used his faith, his courage, and his American passport to save lives during the Rwandan massacre. Similar nightmares are taking place, now, in Sudan, and Kristof challenges anyone "inspired" by Wilkins to make their actions -- or, at least, their wallets -- match their noble sentiments.
