These guys ended up being cowardly posers. Does anyone know of a courageous stand they took?

I don't know what AI may have been, but I do know it is nothing more than a Marxist organization that hates America. AI passes up no opportunity to criticize America while at the same time remains silent to the true horrors perpetrated by madmen and dictators. This organization is foal and disgusting. They are dishonest and disingenuous at the very least.

John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford

Is this a public or private hospital?

Just curious.

that's the most repellent thing I've seen today, and I've looked democratic underground.
Shame on you.

If you knew anything of Amnesty International, you too would be saying "good riddance". If ever an organization defined searching under the streetlight, that's the one.
