check out this excellent post on Niki's blog:
I have much to say about these governmental non-governmental organizations and their destructive role throughout the world, and in West Asia in particular, but today, I just want to raise these questions: Given that "fire brand cleric" Moqtada Al-Sadr has threatened a massive civil-disobedience campaign, will NED make him one of its grantees? Will Freedom House sponsor Moqtada to come participate as one of the "high-profile candidates from the Middle East and North Africa" it picks for a six-week, all expenses paid tour of the United States?
oh, man. And that Bush picture is my favorite one so far.
