Peter Jennings

a Canadian journalist and reporter for America's ABC News for several years. He caused a stir a few years ago when he said that a recent tune by jingoist Toby Keith is not in the spirit of American holiday the 4th of July (Independence Day). Well, he was right - July 4 is a celebration of American independence and freedom, not war. A lifelong heavy smoker, he died of lung cancer in 2005. RIP Peter Jennings.
