    well the amnesty report is finally out and though I don't think it tells me anything I hadn't guessed already in general terms, it still makes for grim readings.

    Its ironic that both the US and UK claim their war is for freedom and democracy (human rights), while in truth they are themselves engaged in gross violations of human rights throughout the world.

    When will the countries' citizens wake up to this hypocricy and oust the criminals responsible?

    Will there ever be justice against Bush and Blair for their crimes? More than likely not, the powerful never commit crimes do they?
