Amnesty International and the G-word

Editor Matt Rothschild of The Progressive says Amnesty International is under attack by the Bush administration's biggest guns. Why?

"Amnesty International, along with Human Rights Watch, Human Rights First, the ACLU, and the Center for Constitutional Rights, has been performing a vital service in drawing attention to the illegality of the Bush Administration policies: the indefinite detention of tens of thousands of people without charge; the grotesque torture of some of them at Abu Ghraib, Bagram Air Force Base, Guantanamo, and elsewhere; and the murder—yes, murder—of more than two dozen detainees at the hands of U.S. soldiers, guards, or interrogators."
