#2 For Amnesia International to actually condemn the blatant murders of black men by Arabs sparks a tiny bit of hope in me that they'll quit reflexively blaming the "West" for everything bad that happens in Africa and the Muddled East. We'll see if it carries over to any other outrageous acts by Arabs/Muslimbs.

#3 A cynical part of me thinks the only reason Amnesty Internation showed any interest is because a newspaper editor was the victim.
