That is one pacifist oriented org that I have a helluva lot of respect for.

Though not perfect...They do report the facts pretty well.

Ignoring danger, they go into the field for research...while there, they help thousands of people everyday.


Definitely true.

I received an e-mail from a daughter yesterday--she left doctors without borders three months ago to join HRW and has since been nosing around Ivory Coast, Guinea and Liberia, most of it in the north and west rebel areas of Ivory Coast. Here's the first para of her message:

"hi all: amidst the iraq embroglio, you might spare a thought for west africa once in a while, where mercenaries continue to loot, torture and kill innocents and government-sanctioned terror rampages with impunity..."

It might be debatable on the pacifist aspect; this is one bloody-minded daughter.
