Colombia has the worst human rights record of any country in the western hemisphere. Last year in Colombia: · 184 trade unionists were assassinated, those carrying out these murders enjoying complete impunity from state prosecution; · there was on average 20 political murders a day. Independent observers conclude that right-wing groups are responsible for 80% of these human rights violations; · the government of Álvaro Uribe Vélez declared a State of Internal Unrest four days after becoming president in August, and then in September he decreed that two zones of the country would be under direct military rule, suspending all civil rights. ... read full story / add a comment

Sky had Iraqi analyst Hamid Ali Alikfay in the studio and he did free translation of what this man was yelling. "Saddam has killed millions of us....this is the day we have been waiting for. We are Iraqis, but we are with the United States. We are Americans." ... read full story / add a comment
