Journalists have sued to end the extreme secrecy in Bradley Manning's trial.

The ACLU explains the weasel-words in Obama's proposed legal criteria for drone attacks.

Tibetan activists have launched a boycott of Intercontinental Hotels for building a luxury resort in Lhasa.

Israeli soldiers in Gaza shot and killed Muhammad al-Dura, age 12, in 2000. A cameraman make a video, which was broadcast. Now Israel claims that the whole thing was faked — but Muhammad's father asks, "If he's alive, where is he?"

Nowadays, in Syria, anonymous rebels fake video of atrocities. It is not absolutely impossible that Palestinians in Gaza would have done so. But the death of one Palestinian was so common that there was no need for anyone to fake that. (Israeli troops shot the ambulance driver!) This video was made, and sworn to, by a respected journalist. So the Israeli accusation has no credibility.
