Echoes in Eternity

Dalrymple rightly picks on Amnesty International this week on Pajamas Media. AI has long become merely a political tool, choosing to defend tyrants while supporting abortion and terrorism. It's a shell of its former self. Don't ever donate to them or support them in any way.

It is as if Amnesty grew bored with its original purpose and now seems to suffer from what one might call the not-a-sparrow-falls-but-it-is-our-moral-concern syndrome, itself a result of believing that virtue is proportionate to the number of good causes that one espouses. Therefore, one must spread one’s moral wings and fly off into the ethical stratosphere.
