And our "coalition of the willing"

Not forgetting the human rights abuses our government and media overlook amongst our "coalition of the willing" allies, who have all jumped on internal dissidents with gleeful abandon since joining the Iraq or Afghanistan invasions. The latest victim is Bulent Ersoy, a popular Turkish singer, charged with "dissent" for describing Turkey's Kurdish pogrom as wasteful of human life. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7460649.stm
