The Truth Commission report and its receivers

Currently I'm seeking to contact the 70-odd groups and individuals who agreed to act as "receivers" for the report and foster group discussions of it. (For the purposes of this story, I'm not going to include groups such as the Beloved Community Center with close ties to the truth-commission process.)

I'm planning a story on what those discussions have involved to date, and I'm also hoping to sit in on one or two (and perhaps record audio for our Web site) before writing. I've already gotten one invitation but had to decline because it conflicted with a previously scheduled interview.

If you're on the list, I'll be getting to you at some point, or trying to, but if you want to get to me first, you can call me at 373-7088 or e-mail me.

Thanks!

Lex, please provide evidence to support your allegation of "torture" by the government.
Specifically, please show us where any legal body has found our government "guilty" of torture.
I'm not talking about individual criminals acts outside regulations by military members, but "torure" as defined by recognized legal bodies being ordered by our government.
And I don't mean a statement of your opinion or that of some other liberal that making detainees stand up for 6 hours (the horror!) or listen to Christina Aquillera music constitutes "torture."
