Got a letter from Amnesty International: they're appealling for funds for their work against torture in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Guantanamo Bay. AI sent Bush and co. a report detailing the torture in Abu Ghraib in July 2003.

In other news, this American soldier is spending a year in prison because he refused to continuing fighting in Iraq. Protest.
