We've created a blogroll you can join if you're interested. You can find it <a href="http://blogagainsttorture.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">here</a>. The idea is that everyone is linked to from the blogroll, and in exchange, you discuss torture (as you already do), and link to the <a href="http://www.tortureawareness.org" rel="nofollow">Torture Awareness site</a> to help support the NGOs. There's a lot of bloggers concerned about human rights abuse in the War on Terror. If we coordinate, we can show our support and help Amnesty and HRW make Torture Awareness Month a success.

As eric said in response to <a href="/2006/05/18/not-reliable-not-reliable/" rel="nofollow">my first post</a>: "wow. one at a time please." Thanks for the digest, though - inspiring stories from Chile and France. Maybe we can get ourselves involved in a protest while we're over there. That Musee de Quai Branly isn't far from our hotel -- too bad the opening isn't until the 23rd when we won't be in Paris anymore. hi Robert, welcome to Meyerbros.

Many of these who were sought by the Russians as war criminals were given US citizenship and one occupied a key position at the CIA for many years.A report is that he remains venerated through a portrait hanging in Langley. One wonders that this was a substantial factor in initiating the Cold War. The reality is that all secret intelligence organizations tend to be corrupt by their very nature coming to believe that they are above the law.
