Someone gets it

From the London Times:

Amnesty International is �damaged� by Taliban link
A senior official at Amnesty International has accused the charity of putting the human rights of Al-Qaeda terror suspects above those of their victims.

Gita Sahgal, head of the gender unit at Amnesty�s international secretariat, believes that collaborating with Moazzam Begg, a former British inmate at Guantanamo Bay, �fundamentally damages� the organisation�s reputation.

In an email sent to Amnesty�s top bosses, she suggests the charity has mistakenly allied itself with Begg and his �jihadi� group, Cageprisoners, out of fear of being branded racist and Islamophobic.

Sahgal describes Begg as �Britain�s most famous supporter of the Taliban�. He has championed the rights of jailed Al-Qaeda members and hate preachers, including Anwar al-Awlaki, the alleged spiritual mentor of the Christmas Day Detroit plane bomber.

Amnesty�s work with Cageprisoners took it to Downing Street last month to demand the closure of Guantanamo Bay. Begg has also embarked on a European tour, hosted by Amnesty, urging countries to offer safe haven to Guantanamo detainees. This is despite concerns about former inmates returning to terrorism.

Sahgal, who has researched religious fundamentalism for 20 years, has decided to go public because she feels Amnesty has ignored her warnings for the past two years about the involvement of Begg in the charity�s Counter Terror With Justice campaign.

Thank you Gita Sahgal! Terrorist scum like Begg need to be locked up forever if not shot and buried with pig offal. We need to realize that there is a war being waged against us -- the Islamists declared it thirty years ago and we are only now beginning to stir. They need to be wiped off the face of this planet.
