This makes my head want to explode

The Reverend Dr. Bill Lawson compared [convicted Enron exec Ken] Lay with civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. and Jesus Christ, and said his name would eventually be cleared.

"He was taken out of the world right at the right time," he said. "History has a way of vindicating people who have been wronged."

Do you think the "people" referred to in this last sentence are the thousands who saw their retirement go up in smoke at the hands of this crook? Will they be "vindicated"? Grrrrrr...
