Just announced.

What an orgy of praise and weeping this will bring on. I wonder if Obama himself will attend the funeral.

Bleh. Who cares. De Klerk is the one who was really the big push away from apartheid but no one says crap about him.

It has been announced Obama, as suspected, will go to the funeral.

Not only at half-mast, but half-mast for 10 DAYS!
