#1 This is clearly the biggest news story of the day and should be one of the year, but you wouldn't know it. I checked Amnesia International's website a few minutes ago - certain that (sarcasm dripping)they would be all over this. Headlines were about G-8 not doing enough for their tastes, Security Council not doing enough for their taste and a lead story about Guantanamo prisoners suffering because their three daily, square, culturally sensitive meals aren't tasty enough. But after some searching of back pages, I was able to find out that Amnesia did indeed have a lead story about this real-time human disaster. "It was:
Guardian journalist, Andrew Meldrum discusses his illegal deportation from Zimbabwe"

Ahhhh....poooor Andrew. What an OUTRAGE! No wonder Amnesia has decided to ignore this major story. Yeah...take that Bob! Kick out a journalist and they'll show you by just ignoring the whole slaughter! No press for you Bob...take that!
