#1 I can't proof read very well. Oh well, stuff happens.

#2 This has nothing to do with the WoT and everything to do with the election. Don't expect to hear about this after November 2.

#3 I would like to take credit for their disappearance. Please tell their families that they can be found chained to trees in my backyard wrapped in bacon, its bear season you know.

#5 Yeah -thats right - tell Al Qaeda who we have detained so they know where their network has been compromised and all the cells know who has been compromised.

This bunch of idiots will have blood on its hands.

Just liek the ACLU that sued and prevented the police from doing watches and searches on the Washington (state) ferries because it was "dsicriminatory" against Arab looking people.

#6 The suspects were detained with no notification to their families, no Red Thingy Cross access and, in some cases, no acknowledgement that they are even being held, the New York-based watchdog said in a 46-page report.

Huh. People who aren't protected by the Geneva Conventions aren't getting any of its benefits.

Whoda thunk it?

#7 I wanted to insert the homing probe into his brain and let him go, but Emily wouldn't let me -- said I was being a wuss, as usual.

Considering the "homing probe" is best known as a fence post, it would have stood out a bit.

#8 I would love to see an honest poll on this. Khalid Shaikh Mohammed and Abu Zubayda can be hung from lamp posts in NYC without trial as far as I'm concerned.

#9 It's ashame that these fools have kept themselves so busy protecting the rights of mass-murdering terrorists. Otherwise they might been able to muster more than a few weak, "someone must do somethings" re: Sudan, North Korea, etc., etc. etc., where totalitarians and despots cause human suffering on a mass scale.

I can understand it though. To complain about Sudan or North Korea, you actually might need to do something, like put down your latte and go over there to interview people and record the atrocities...icK! How dirty! How depressing!

Much easier to feel important talking about the "bigger picture" of smaller issues at the those wine and cheese fundraisers. Don't want to spoil the event by talking about rape of children or mass starvation. Ruins the appetite.

#10 Good point 2b.

#11 Let's see...11 Al-Q who can't be found, a couple hundred people from the WTC who can't be found. Somehow, I'm just not sensing a real problem on the part of HRW.
Oh, and if they're in NYC, take them kicking and screaming if necessary to Ground Zero, then make them stand up publicly with a bullhorn and make their statements.

If they live, let 'em go home.

#14 Disapperance'is a good tactic.Think about it.
Abu:Have you seen Mohomar?

#15 They will beat their gums incessantly over the lowest of scum, but if something like a Washington State Ferry is sunk and people drown due to terrorists, these vermin will slink back into the shadows like cockroaches.

Here is some intel on Human Rights Watch, including their 990.

Their game:

Initiatives: Academic Freedom, AIDS, Business and Human Rights, Emergencies, Film Festival, International Justice, Lesbian and Gay Rights, Prison Conditions, Refugees.

Leadership: Kenneth Roth, Executive Director
Bruce Rabb, Secretary
Jonathon Fanton, Chairman

Annual * Revenue: $20,366,031

Here is the link to the IRS form 990, in .pdf format. There are contributers with big 7 figures, but no names, dammit. So, Frank, we cannot answer your question about who gives the money. OldSpook, any ideas?

#16 good post. I'm guessing what they are really all about is that $20,366.03 and that they are now for sale to the highest bidder.

#17 HRW ethos:

Better to kill thousands of innocents than to detain one terrorist incommunicado.

#18 In the mode of Scrappleface...

Amnesty International is very concerned about an overly large order of panties, purchased from Victoria Secret, and paid for with a government credit card with a billing address of Langely, Virginia...

"If we can find where those panties were shipped to, we can find the al-Qaedas who disappeared!"

#19 
Human Rights Watch listed the names of 11 senior Al-Qaeda suspects it said were held by the CIA in secret locations overseas, where some had reportedly been tortured.
1. If it's so secret, how do they know?

2. Assuming everything they say is true (and that would take a big ASS), what's the problem exactly?

#20 Hi. It's agent Smith, here on a Herculess plane
flying at the hight of 30000 ft over North Atlantic.
Sorry about the noise---its the open door. Anyway, I can categorically state that we do not have any Al Qaida suspects in custody.
