I think calling Guantanamo a gulag got everyone's attention. And private citizens are allowed to contribute to political campaigns, even if they work for human rights organizations. I wonder how many big companies that now have extremely lucrative contracts in Afghanistan and Iraq contributed to Bush's campaign? And what about the whole issue of Halliburton, making billions of dollars because we went to war unjustifiably? And don't forget how often Bush quoted Amnesty International reports when they were convenient to him in talking about Saddam Hussein's war crimes.

Contributed to Kerry's campaign? - good grief. In todays paper I see that US personnel desecrated the koran 5 times - some of the desecrations were because guards held it in one hand - they're supposed to use 2 hands - and touched without wearing gloves - the hands of unbelievers being unclean, of course. And there have been 15 desecrations of korans by detainees - 1 of which really did try to flush it down a commode. Re. abuse of prisoners at gitmo, the Navy inspector general reported 7 such cases out of 24,000 interrogations, all of the 7 abuse cases were minor.
