This article invites you to think through what is going on around you, whether it is coming from biological family members, or from what could be termed to be *extended family* and others you wouldn't "normally" think of as "wanting to have" for family, or affinity groups, or meaningful community. |

It cannot be overemphasised that nothing and no one can justify waiving the principles of the rule of law and respect for human rights and that torture, in addition to being an unreliable way of obtaining information, is in any case absolutely prohibited.
As the Assembly has stated, “some human rights (such as the right to be protected from torture or inhuman treatment) are absolute, and should never be interfered with by state authorities, including internal security services.” Secret services’ role, however fundamentally important to counter-terrorist action, clearly can never place such services above the law. |

When A Marine Speaks Truth to Power: Why I Stand By My Interview With Sgt. Jimmy Massey |

I welcome an opportunity to respond to the Harris charges. I stand by my interviews with the man who, at great expense to himself, speaks truth to power. Massey’s story is corroborated, and it is authentic. He is one of the most cogent, decent persons I have interviewed in 20 years of journalism. In contrast, his detractor is a jingoist whose own dispatches from Iraq are full of inaccuracies, omissions, fawning praise for commanders who made huge mistakes of judgment and who sent Marines to their death on the basis of fraud. |

Amazingly, the country's per capita income is actually lower today than it was 25 years ago. And 63 percent of Bolivians live below the poverty line. |
