I say thanks to the people that invest their energy in  trying to speak 
up for the weak or protests against governments who deny peaple of the 
most basic human rights.  I dont care if they are amnesty international 
- - doctors or reporters without frontiers - the pen organisation etc. It 
is never an attack on a country or the people living in that country - 
it is an aid to the people of that country pointing out internationally 
that things could be better. Theres is no political agenda  nor a wish 
to single out Americans as the bad guys - it is just nice that things 
like freedom of speach for the press is monitored and I dont think it is 
horse shit
