Yes you are right for the most - at Qatar. And you know it is sad because besides doing media work for my job, I also help out a number of young adults who were sexually assaulted by molesters within the Jehovah's Witnesses organization (Watchtower). Sadly, like the Catholics, a number of these cases were covered up by the organization for "image" reasons and the survivors were kicked out and shunned by the familes and friends.
So why tell you that?
I have worked with Laurie Goodstien at the NY Times to get a story on the abuse out on August 11, 2002. I work with Julie Scelfo at Newswe"a"k to get her story out in the June 24, 2002 edition. I have worked with CBC's Linda Guerriero and got a full one hour documentary out back on January 29, 2003. I have been involved working with the AP and James McCarten at Canadian Press in getting stories out on this subject. My point is that in all cases, these "liberal" press people properly investigated and reported the stories on the abuse.
And that is so sad because I know, first hand, these reporters actually do their homework. But in this case, a lot of the stories out of Qatar are all over the place.
