Where are the "peace" groups on this?

Jack Granatstein asks a good question:

Why no outcry from NGOs against IEDs?

Cameron Campbell said...: Didn't you link to HRW and Amnesty Itnl reports on rights violations that listed, explicitly, the use of IEDs?

Part of this report deals with landmines and their redeployment and repurposing: http://www.doctorswithoutborders.org/publications/reports/before1999/living_1997.cfm#bm9

Also, some of the NGOs are loath to condemn anyone who is not from a democratic country, what with the whole getting killed, driven off and kidnapped thing.; 3:39 p.m., May 10, 2007
