KATE WRITES:

Living in one of the most “progressive” Islamic countries, Jordanian women who hope for the right to divorce their husbands have another wait ahead of them, as the country’s parliament held off voting on the bill for yet more debate. The likely outcome of that debate can be inferred from today’s decision by parliament to forgo harsher punishments for men who kill women as a matter of upholding their “honor.”

Why can’t we interest the UN Human Rights Commission in this stuff. . . .?
