I'm not trying to make Amnesty International out to be a 'bad actor'. I think it is a useful, vitally important organization and I even like the fact that they are unafraid to speak out.

The use of the word 'Gulag' apparently comes from a speech which can be found here:
Amnesty International

Whether or not the term is used in the AI report I know not.

The speakers need to know the political spin machine they are up against.

Jude, I took advantage of your name but I meant what I said. I truly did not understand your reference against LH and me, or if you were being serious or not. You made a remark about my showing up in other forums and possibly shadowing or being shadowed by MG. I just didn't understand what you were saying because you spoke obliquely, which is close to being obscure. I still don't know if you were serious, trying to be funny, saying that I always agreed with MG, didn't agree with MG, or what the heck you were on about. I notice that MG actually said something nice about me in this thread, so maybe you are punishing me for that. If you in fact look at my posts which do occur in some threads that MG has posts in, you will see that I often encourage people to ignore MG's more pungent prose.
Being asked what 'my (and LH's)' game is sounds a lot like me asking you when you stopped beating your kid. You are welcome to suppose what you want as to my motives, but in resorting to ad hominem instead of addressing the actual point (and I do have one) is not helpful to the thread.

But keep posting. I'm a little slow and eventually I may pick up on your meaning!
