Proyect and you can bash HRW all you like for reporting on the war crimes of regimes that fall out of favor w/ the USG after being compliant puppets earlier.

Joe Stork of HRW, leftist. Reed Brody, who wrote, "Contra Terror in Nicaragua, " (and interviewed by John Pilger for a recent documentary) of HRW, both interviewed along w/ other HRW researchers by the editors of Rethinking Marxism a few yrs. ago. Wasn't a vulgar "marxist" bash of human rights work.

Why, good for you, Paul!

It has the additional merit of being edited by a group of dissident intellectuals in the former Yugoslavia, for whom a repressive government and NATO's military interventions have made the politics of human rights of pressing importance." – Times Literary Supplement
