One victim had his eyes put out. No one was safe from the torturers, not even those attending funerals. When is will the UN act to put a stop to this horror? Won&#8217;t President Obama intervene to stop these barbaric acts? Aren&#8217;t international human rights monitors going to put a stop to this? When will War Crimes charges be preferred against the perpetrators?]]>Wed, 21 Jan 2009 03:31:56 -0500<![CDATA[Richard Fernandez]]>https://pjmedia.com/richard-fernandez/2009/01/21/the-grand-inquisitors-n187038
