| #1 the organisation has a noble history of action as well as sentiment, and it's recently been fiercely criticised in a Times leader. But we were right. In February, we noted the case of Gita Sahgal, an Amnesty employee. We said of Amnesty and its reputation for the disinterested defence of human rights: "That reputation is irreplaceable. Yet through inexplicable insouciance, Amnesty is squandering it. Amnesty was hijacked by leftwing activists who exploited its 'noble' reputation. BTW, I was a member 30 years ago. These days I wouldn't spit on them. But its not the same Amnesty I joined. |
