Is this wagging the tail or not believing a popularly elected govt, for real?

Comment on Addisfortune editorial on Human Right Watch Report on the EPRDF governemnt and its handling of Aid

Dear Zeru
"To its credit, HRW is a globally respected organization. Charity Navigator, an American organization which evaluates over 5,000 United States (US) based charities, gives it four stars, a rating deemed "exceptional"."

Comment: Since November 2008 we know how much a rating of an American institution worth is. The subprime junks and Madoffs were awarded Triple A's rating by renowned American financial rating agencies for decades.

"This rates HRW ... two stars above Amnesty International."

Comment AI's rating has to do with its reports on the last Israel-Lebanon and Israel-Gaza wars. It is very interesting to compare AI's and HRW's report on these wars.

"Better Business Bureau (BBB) attests to HRW not only meets its fundraising, expenditure, and financial accountability standards, but also its quality and accuracy standards in information it releases."

Comment: Bull! Whether HRW is accountable for its cents is not the issue here. The issue here is HRW -as its predecessor Helsinki Watch- is an organization which is committed for maintaining the interest of a single group around the globe. Anyone who thinks otherwise on this issue is a fool.

"He [Soros] is also credited with helping Hungary, his native land, to make a smooth and peaceful transition from a communist to a liberal society."

Comment: Are these fortune morons living in the last century? He [Soros] above all failed miserably in Hungary. Hungary is right now is being ruled by a certified neo-Nazi government with a two third parliament PLUS regional local government majority!

Above all HRW is trying to clobber Ethiopia to submission just as Elihu Lauterprecht tried! Why? Because of Eritrea! The Red Sea is strategic for ISRAEL! They want to retain both as allies, Ethiopia and this miserable real-estate called Eritrea.
