Amnesty Intl protests Iraqi TV station bombing

some info

At one time, I gave a good chunk of money to Amnesty International. I couldn't think of a better place to give money to; they were protesting torture and terrible treatment of prisoners worldwide and appeared to really be making a difference. What an important goal.

The left used to be against that sort of thing. Times have changed. Now they are against the use of US force, no matter what that force is meant to do. Yesterday AI issued a news release saying that the US shouldn't have taken out the TV station in Baghdad, because that's civilian.

Taking out the propaganda machine of a brutal dictatorship that may have been using the broadcasts to send information to its troops... is a bad thing to these jagoffs.

Iraq led the world in torture over the last decade. Amnesty International seeks to maintain that situation.

I guess it's good for donations.
