How easy it is to claim to champion human rights when you exempt your own country from judgment. When did the US ever care about human rights in Cuba, or anywhere else in Latin America before Castro, if those rights conflicted with the rape of the region's resources ? And what a mockery we have made of the cause of democratic rule when our President, twice elected by the people, has created one of the world's most fearsome symbols of torture on the US "liberated" territory of Guantanamo, Cuba"

If you are new here after having a look at the new StumbleUpon listing, this is Oldephartte's answer to delisting by WordPress ; a new site with links laid out by category rather than a simple alphabetical listing. The Media Trendmap viewed in a browser set to allow use of its live links in an especially interesting look at the overall organization of the web ( First item in "Utilities" ).

NuZs will take you to news about the geographic area selected.
