Falwell's speaking, or places where some of his words have been

Just wondering if that's a complete transcript, or if it's been

In the transcript you cited, there are ellipses ( "..." ) at several
points in
the quotation ascribed to Falwell. Ellipses, when quoting a speaker,
are
generally used for one of two purposes: to indicate omitted words, or
to
indicate pauses in speech. I'm just curious which of the two it is in
this
case...

So am I so I wrote them and asked. Dunno if they'll respond, but
if they do I'll post their answer--in alt.politics.

Regardless, clearly it was intollerant religious 'fundamentalists,'
not secularists, who were responsible for the attacks on teh WTC
and Pentagon.

Ironically the term 'fundamentalist' is typically used today in
reference to those who respect anything BUT the fundamentals of
their religion.
