1. VERY disappointing. I assumed (I know) it would get much broader coverage. nt

2. Disgraceful. And this is not the first Red Cross story they're tanking.
The Red Cross called us out on reports of abuse within months of our detaining people at Abu Graib.

That miserable corksucker had better worry about WHO will pardon HIM!

Dennis Kucinich for Chairman of the Truth & Reconciliation Commission!

6. Okay, so what *is* this unreported story you didn't explain or link to in your OP?
If you're trying to spread awareness of an unreported story, it would sure be helpful if you told other readers what you're talking about when you write about it. Otherwise the only people you're reaching are the ones who already know what you're writing about, hence your efforts to spread the word are automatically limited. Do tell?

11. no, I just didn't know which specific news report you were talking about
Edited on Sun Jul-13-08 03:43 PM by mloutre



...because your OP was so vague and undetailed as to be completely meaningless to anyone who wasn't already part of your little echo chamber.
