Bush Critics Warn of Going Too Far to Attract Allies Coalition: Both liberal and conservative groups fear that some nations will take advantage of their strategic positions to increase repression. By NORMAN KEMPSTER, Times Staff Writer, Times Staff Writer latimes.com The following is an excerpt from Norman Kempster's article: "Chairman Jonathan Fanton and Executive Director Kenneth Roth of Human Rights Watch, a New York-based advocacy group, said in a letter to Secretary of State Colin L. Powell that potential allies may use the war on terrorism to obscure their own oppressive policies. "The danger is that some governments may cynically take advantage of this cause to justify their own internal crackdowns on perceived political opponents, 'separatists' or religious activists, in the expectation that the United States will now be silent," they wrote. They said China, Russia, Malaysia, Kyrgyzstan and others have already begun to cite the budding campaign against terrorism to explain their own repression of opposition groups ".
