This is great news. Matthew McDaniel has been one of the few people closely covering and reporting on the US-aided death squads in Thailand, and the US-aided drug war in Laos, that have both killed thousands in the last few years.

Subject: [AkhaWeeklyJournal] Akha Journal: To New York City, The UN
Dear Friends:My wife finally got her US Fiance Visa and we have returned to the US. What should have taken weeks, in European countries, took years. The windfall was to the Akha of Laos. Where we have been for a year now.We will be attending the Permanent Forum for Indigenous Issues for the third year now, this time with Akha people present to make their case to the UN.The children are happy to see the US, and New York City.We have many moments of progress for the Akha of Laos and our future projects for their behalf.We are in need of funds for publications and expenses that we will incur in New York, this is a very high moment for this work, years in the making, and we ask for your support now.In the year to come we will be uniting with the Akha in the US, many of them hidden refugees, children of trafficking, that even the US Govt. does not want to admit to.Please do your best to make a donation to this work that makes such progress at this time.We will be doing a lot to celebrate the life of the traditional Akha while in the US and to defend them against those who would silence their heritage.What a long long road it has been.Thank you all so much for your support.And we thank you for donating to this work.Sincerely,Matthew McDanielMichu UaiyueAhsoh UaiyueMeeh Daw McDanielAh Tsah UaiyueAh Ngoh Uaiyue

Newsweek, Nov. 14, 2005, page 36:
"The most recent evidence comes from autopsies of 44 prisoners who have died in Iraq and Afghanistan in U.S. custody. Most died under circumstances that suggest torture. The reports use words like 'strangulation,' 'asphyxiation' and 'blunt force injuries.' ... A few months before the [Abu Ghraib] scandal broke [spring 2004], Coalition Provisional Authority polls showed Iraqi support at 63 percent. A month after Abu Ghraib, the number was 9 percent. Polls showed that 71 percent of Iraqis were surprised by the revelations."
