Sellout

GOOD GRIEF: Obama Cuts Off Funding for Iranian Human-Rights Documentation. “The Clinton State Department has decided to cut off all funding for the Iran Human Rights Documentation Center (IHRDC), which was compiling lists of protestors imprisoned in this summer’s unrest, as well as those who were killed in the crackdown. IHRDC is what human-rights advocates should be: methodical, precise, and apolitical in their work. And yet, the Obama administration has, without explanation, cut off all federal funding to the group which has consistently fulfilled its mandate.”

They’re planning a sellout, and data on what the Iranians are doing to their protesters would make it more embarrassing.
