Actually, what is sad here is that Bol is being considered some kind of humanitarian for shoveling millions of dollars into the SPLA...that's sickening.

I don't pretend to know al of the politics involved, but I had read that the existing Sudanese government is oppresive, especially against Manute Bol's people. I have read further of the atrocities committed by the government and military against certain tribes. His funding of the rebel movement is a move to protect friends and family members and to act out against a government that he feels is in the wrong. Sounds to me like a group of rag-tag rebels in the 1770s. It all depends on your perspective.
