[Update] Center for Cooperative Research needs our HELP!

Sat Aug 13, 2005 at 02:36:58 AM PDT

Update [2005-8-13 8:51:58 by Dumbo]: Added list of subjects that CR documents and timelines for us. I have used this site as a research resource for some time now.  It is INVALUABLE.  Like Wikipedia, it is a collaborative research project that anybody can contribute material to.

To my dismay, I discovered just now that it may have to shut down for lack of funds.  They need to raise $45,000 in 30 days.  

This is very distressing.  This is one of my favorite resources on Abu Ghraib and other torture subjects.  It will be a terrible loss if this goes down.

Here is the message on their site:

Cooperative Research Fundraising Drive       

Cooperative Research is out of money and CANNOT continue without your support! We must raise $45,000 over the next 30 days to cover the 4-month period from September to December. It is absolutely necessary that we raise this amount. Please make a tax-deductible donation today.
Day 8 : $5711.

Please help keep this wondeful site alive.  

Here are some of the subjects they have documented and timelined for us:

# US confrontation with Iran
# US Military
# Bush administration's treatment of US troops
# Investigation into the 2004 US Election
# Environmental impact of 911 attacks
# The Bush administration's environmental record
# Prisoner abuse in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere
# 2004 Ousting of Jean-Bertrand Aristide
# Complete 911 Timeline
# Inquiry into the decision to invade Iraq
# History of US Interventions
