Give us a few years to fix that. No debate there from me. I think I have figured out a red-thread through their logic and I mentioned it: journalists in jail. So they don't take issue with the fundamental principles, but with they way they are followed from year to year. It seems that most of their activity is centered around sending letters, petitions to governments demanding the release of journalists who are in jail. Kind of like Amnesty International for journalists. When I read the annual report for the US the criticism was almost all about journalists being jailed or threatened. That seems to be their main concern. Best, Daniel > > > On Nov 12, 2003, at 1:46 AM, Daniel Ridings wrote: > > > Did you read the link?
