I am surprise that someone of your credentials, ohh, err missus, could give any sort of support to this shite:

“The violation of basic human rights standards at Abu Ghraib, at Guantanamo, and by the practice of “rendition”, must be roundly condemned for what it is: a departure from universal principles, for the establishment of which the democratic countries themselves, and in particular the United States of America, bear the greater part of the historical credit. But we reject the double standards by which too many on the Left today treat as the worst violations of human rights those perpetrated by the democracies, while being either silent or more muted about infractions that outstrip these by far. This tendency has reached the point that officials speaking for Amnesty International, an organization which commands enormous, worldwide respect because of its invaluable work over several decades, can now make grotesque public comparison of Guantanamo with the Gulag, can assert that the legislative measures taken by the US and other liberal democracies in the War on Terror constitute a greater attack on human rights principles and values than anything we have seen in the last 50 years, and be defended for doing so by certain left and liberal voices.”

This is convoluted, to say the least. I bet these bad boys got you squiffy before you signed up to that!

Gray - I see the Guardian is writing more about the Euston one today. For something that is being dismissed by its opponents as meaningless it seems to be getting a lot of interpretation. But then I’m a signer.

Of course I may have this all wrong as it is dark now and I’m used to commenting in the day, so I’m experiencing disorientation.

And I always get Euston muddled with Houston, which is a damned nuisance if I’m trying to get to either Blackpool or a low Earth orbit.

“Judge it on whether it gets anywhere near its declared aims and objectives and not what ranking it gets in Google, son.”

So far, all we’ve done is had our Web launch. Given that most online operators would be prepared to pay tens of thousands of dollars to attract the kind of attention online that we have, and that we’ve spent about three hundred quid on hosting to get it, I’d say we’ve had a reasonable return on our investment to date, son.
