This is a great article from today's Guardian by Naomi Klein and co. It's about the kidnapping of an Italian and IRaqi aid workers/NGO Activists
http://www.guardian.co.uk/comment/story/0,3604,1305523,00.html
In the eight days since their abduction, pleas for their release have crossed all geographical, religious and cultural lines. The Palestinian group Islamic Jihad, Hizbullah, the International Association of Islamic Scholars and several Iraqi resistance groups have all voiced outrage. A resistance group in Falluja said the kidnap suggests collaboration with foreign forces. Yet some voices are conspicuous by their absence: the White House and the office of Allawi. Neither has said a word.
Let's reccomend this diary up!
I wish we tried to talk more about issues on this board and push these issues into the mainstream, instead of just talking about various campaign horse races
