Peter Tatchell who has a track record of opposing other dictators such as Mugabe said:

"This is not an attack on Catholic people or the Catholic faith. We are critical of certain policies of the Pope.
When he says no woman is fit to be a priest, that's an insult to the whole of female humanity.
When he says a husband must not use a condom to protect his wife from infection - even if he has HIV - that's irresponsible."

More sickening crimes exposed on the part of US forces in Afghanistan. Full story at link.

Twelve US soldiers have been charged with crimes in Afghanistan ranging from murdering civilians to keeping body parts as war trophies.

The soldiers from the 5th Stryker Brigade, based in Washington State, were deployed to Kandahar province a year ago, and the murders occurred between January and March, according to charges by army prosecutors made public this week.

"Allegations like this are . . . very serious," Pentagon press secretary Geoff Morrell told a news briefing."Clearly, even if these allegations are proved to be untrue, it is unhelpful. It does not help the perceptions of our forces around the world." (Morrell is a master of understatement) ... read full story / add a comment
