Yeah, I remember the early musings and just took it with a grain of
salt. Civil War had the potential to be a cutting edge story for them,
but all they've done is basically turn strong characters like Reed
Richards into Fascist pricks. Sad times.

Yup.  I read about this yesterday on MSNBC.  I'm
surprised, but sadly I can't say that I'm schocked. 
Marvel seems to be drifting lately in its storylines,
and while I don't follow comicbooks, I still hear
things.  The House of M storyline apparently didn't go
over too well.  And what I've heard about the current
"Civil War" storyline only confirmed my initial
suspicions that there wouldn't be any serious
discussion of the pros and cons of requiring
registration of people who can kill you by pointing at
you.  Instead, Marvel created a one-sided story that's
a rather ham-handed attempt to criticize the War on
Terror.

I didn't think Marvel would go as far as they
apparently are, but it isn't really as surprising to
me as it ought to be.  The overall plot writer all but
bragged about something like this waaaaay back when
Marvel was first publicizing the Civil War story-line.
