#1 Steve, for AI two = many. Their count* only goes up to 10, they run out of fingers. That's why tugocracies don't show up too often on AI's hit list. They quit counting at 10 and so everyone else is just the same.

* exception being the US of course, which has no ceiling in numbers. The US must be perfect. Anything less than perfect by the US is evil.

#2 unfortunatly this happens from time to time. More unsettling are the incidents of male soldiers raping female soldiers.

#3 Nontheless ABC/CBS/NBS/CNN/BBC/etc... will probably run with this as their top story for the next few months.

#4 That's why tugocracies don't show up too often on AI's hit list

Thugocracies show all the time on AI's hit list. The problem is that the *media* don't focus on *those* reports.

#8 Mrs Davis, I'm seeing their site and frontpage has Sudan, Iran, Vietnam in the center, it doesn't have the United States.

As for the number of those recent reports about Iraq, since many of these are condemnations of terrorist bombings, condemnations hostage takings and beheadings, and so forth, I think you are trying to imply something that's actually the reverse of reality.
