Whatever the ideological blinders of HRW, in discussing the craven cynicism that is the creed of the Free Milosevic! crowd it's a red herring. The article you fwd'd from Free Milosevic! quarter charged HRW with being an accomplice to the coming war *not* so much for _neglecting repression_ of the Kurds in Turkey but *because* they were honestly _cataloging repression_ of the Kurds in Iraq. The grievance was the latter, as the headline said:


> ***** Human Rights Watch
> Providing Bush with ammo for attack on Iraq

Nathan made a charge of indifference to the plight of the Kurds in Iraq, and you respond with a tract opposing the recording of this plight. It's as if the only concern is in ranking corpses according to their utility to something calling itself anti-imperialism.
