Ken Gude says, in effect, that human rights don't count. Governments
may have broken laws regarding torture, but never mind--torture of an

to share intelligence: Guantánamo's

disclosure of information is an essential part of any well-functioning
democracy. Yet the immediate impact of such a disclosure would be a rift
between the United States and Britain. But it could also have more far-reaching
implications, curtail intelligence cooperation among a broad set of key
countries, and increase the risk to British and American soldiers on
the front lines. The cause of public disclosure, however important, is
not sufficient to risk such an outcome...

Missing in Pakistan, by Mehlaqa Samdani, DailyTimes.com.pk,
Jan 8, 2009: "...Pakistan's current civilian government,
democratically elected in February 2008, remains weak and
has largely been unable to hold its agencies accountable
for their involvement in the enforced disappearances of Pakistani
citizens. It has also, for its own political reasons, continued
with the previous government's policy of keeping the judiciary
under strict executive control.
Sadly, families of the missing have more confidence in the new US administration's
ability to resolve this humanitarian issue than in their own government's
will and capacity. This is an opening that if seized by the Obama administration
could go a long way towards improving relations between the Pakistani public

A huge demonstration held outside the British prime minister's official
resident here in London on 3rd August 08 demanding the stoppage of the
British military and logistic support to Pakistan.
The demonstration was organized by Baluch Action Committee UK and also
asked for western help towards stopping Pakistani army atrocities in Baluchistan,
particularly the latest onslaught on Dera Bugti that started on 19 July
08 and resulted in killing of over 53 innocent women, men and children
on that day alone.
The onslaught ordered by the current PPP government of Pakistan is continuing
and has also forced many residents of Dera Bugti to flee to other towns
and villages in Sindh province. The participants in the demonstration chanted
slogans against the Pakistani army and government, and asked for the withdrawal
of the army from Baluchistan.
A number of leaders including Abdul Samad Baluch, Tariq Baluch, Mir Golam
Hussain Baluch, Mr. Akbar Barakzai, Dr Lohana and Khaled Langu also spoke
to the gathering. They later presented a memorandum at the prime minster's
