  • Amnest Int'l: US Leads World in Global Attack on Human Rights

    Not Syria. Not North Korea. Not Uzbekistan. Not a country full of darker-skinned, non-Christian folk: [H]uman rights are in retreat worldwide and the United States bears most responsibility… From Afghanistan to Zimbabwe the picture is bleak. Governments are increasingly rolling back the rule of law, taking their cue from the U.S.-led war on terror… “The […]

  • FCC Urged to Address Anti-Gay Statements in Spanish TV

    Efforts of GLAAD and LGBT Latino activists have brought attention to a problem the Latino community has faced for a long time: the lack of FCC regulations enforcement in the Spanish-language media.

Readers of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Los Angeles Times, New York Times, St. Louis Post-Dispatch and Washington […]

  • AP Gets 2,000 Gitmo Documents

    Associated Press just got their hands on over two thousand documents from Guantanamo Bay with the help of the Freedom of Information Act. “I’ve been here for three years and the past three years, whatever I say, nobody believes me. They listen but they don’t believe me,” says a chicken farmer accused of torturing jailed […]
