I'm becoming involved in Torture Awareness Month myself. Do you know anything, though, about why the Torture Awareness web site, at tortureawareness.org, has gone down and now appears to be up for sale? I'm starting to set up an alternative Torture Awareness Month site at tortureawareness.com - but it's going to be a work in progress throughout the month. When I get to the blog links part of the setup, I'll be sure to link here. Keep up the good work! Thanks for these posts. I’m becoming involved in Torture Awareness Month myself.

Is it because being a communist you hate democracy, free speech and capitalism? There is nothing called Human rights, as communists put it. The only fundamental right in the universe is the "right to property", all secondary rights flow out of this one basic right. So when communist organizations like Amnesty campaign in the name of so called Human rights, they are in fact harming human interests rather than preserve them. Amnesty is as evil an organization as Castro's communist party and for the same reason - non of the two organizations support property rights and hence they are anti-human Why are you so anti-US?
