Pensamento em curso: «Em Portugal, a liberdade é muito difícil, sobretudo porque não temos liberais. Temos libertinos, demagogos ou ultramontanos de todas as cores, mas pessoas que compreendam a dimensão profunda da liberdade já reparei que há muito poucas.» (António Alçada Baptista, em carta a Marcelo Caetano)

LOG BOOK: Easy question, easy answer.

"Shame on America. How can they convince us now that it is the bastion of democracy, freedoms and human rights?"
Mustafa Saad, reading morning papers in a downtown Cairo cafe Saturday, quoted by CBSNews.

Dear Mr. Mustafa,
United States should be considered a bastion of democracy, freedoms and human rights, precisely because your question is quoted by an US mainstream TV channel and someone will be punished other than you or the journalist who quoted you, and the Channel’s site could publish a photo with legend and words like these:

One Iraqi prisoner was told to stand on a box with his head covered, wires attached to his hands. He was told that if he fell off the box, he would be electrocuted, the Army says (Photo: CBS)

By the way, what means exactly «photo: CBS»? Was the reporter there at the moment?
