Simon Wiesenthal died today at the age of 96.

Wiesenthal was held in a number of concentration camps during World War II and was freed from Mauthausen in Austria by American troops on May 5, 1945. At the time, he weighed less than 100 pounds, according to his biography.

He was the Holocaust survivor who devoted his life to helping track down Nazi war criminals.

And in other news, anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan was slightly injured in a scuffle that erupted when police broke up an anti-war rally as she was at the microphone.

There are days when I could just scream in frustration.
