[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Peter, I usually stay out of so blatantly non-Leica threads, but this slur I cannot let pass. Amnesty is the most respected human rights organisation in the world. During the Cold War, they ran thousands of letter-writing campaigns on behalf of political prisoners in the Soviet Union and elsewhere in Eastern Europe. To call them a communist group is plainly ridiculous. Today, Amnesty continues to point out human right violations wherever they occur, without regard to politics. In recent years they have criticised the USA, China, even Denmark. Their objectivity is unchallenged. You and other right wingers may not like what they say about the USA, but there are just as many left-winger who do not like what Amnesty says about "their" pet countries. This is my only post on the LUG on this topic. If you wish to debate, please e-mail me privately.
