Amnesty International"Amnesty International is primarily motivated not by human rights but by publicity. Second comes money. Third comes getting more members. Fourth, internal turf battles. And then finally, human rights."-- Francis Boyle, Prof. of International Law and former board member of Amnesty International They also push a definite ideological agenda. Amnesty International was funded by the CIA, and founded in the heat of the cold war to be used as a weapon in the psychological warfare against communism--and although it has now evolved past that, the organisation none the less retains its anti-communist bias, and labels various independent and anti-imperialist states as "rogue states" (The organisation was established by Peter Benenson, but that has little to do with its financing and the people originally pulling its strings, which doubtless influenced its subsequent development.) Amnesty International: A False Beacon? Amnesty International and Israel: Say It Isn't So! Amnesty International: The Case of a Rape Foretold How the US State Dept. Recruited Human Rights Groups to Cheer On the Bombing Raids And they never seem to correctly identify the real aggressive "rogue states".

Re: Amnesty International
usa no.1 the cia founded AI AI is anti-communist AI and israeli links hmmmmmmmmmmmm. methinks the anti-communist thing is crucial in your reasoning here. |

I don't care if AI is funded by the CIA or funded by the Easter Bunny, I have never cared for the organization, just a group of busybody know it alls who try to end legal and justified executions worldwide 
|

I don't think that AI would agree that executions are ever justified and should therefore never be legal. |

| sandmountainslim |
Yes, They would disagree with me on this issue, I am however in the right.

Hmmmmmmm - I forgot it was as simple as declaring you're right to win an argument.

| sandmountainslim |
The most simple and sure path to victory, I win most of my arguments this way.

You may have won your arguement in your own head - but what is the point unless you take any others with you? |

kalashnikov,
I have alot of respect for Francis Boyle, he is a shaker and a mover. I can believe the order of importance for this organization, I disagee that they are motivated by fame, greed and membership. Correct me if I am wrong but that would make them capitalist! I doubt that. Now please share with me what is so wrong as long as they do their jobs in this process?! Can you provide a link for the information you have provided. Thank you so much. sandmountainslim,
Please share with me the legal justified worldwide executions you are talking about? |

A couple of years back I emailed them that they still had on their site a claim about a mass grave created by the yugoslavs in Kosovo. In fact it is now known that claims about mass graves there were lies & that the mass graves actually found were almost exclusively created by our KLA allies, often underthe NATO occupation. Such as the Dragodan massacre of 210 civilians carried out under UK government authority.
Only a racist & pro-Nazi organisation would have spread such lies in the first place or maintained them later & amnesty is proveably such an organisation. |

Superb SLG!
Mr. Deo Vindice is however an ideologue, and ideologues need to believe, not to reason. RFM |
