  • An Honest Man

    This guy is hugely impressive. I only wish I had any faith he could shame the shameless:

    Sounds like a self-righteous ass to me.

      He was a Voice in the Wilderness when he spoke up about the severe torture and suppression going on in Uzbekistan in early 2000's. At the time, Uzbekistan was a U.S. and U.K. ally, so he lost his job as U.K. ambassador there.

      He paid a very high personal and career price for his courage.

      And the irony is that, much later, in approx 2007 when U.S. acknowledged and protested torture and human rights violations in Uzbekistan, it lost its air bases there and was kicked out of country by this supposed ally in War on Terror.

      I'm glad I wasn't born there and don't live there, sounds like they've got an extreme tyrant running the show.
