[hr-education-na] "Not in MY Name"!

Dear Listserv Members,

I would like to announce an online resource called: Not in MY name! A
collection of quotes on the past, present, and future of the practice of
torture / Selected and arranged by myself and available at
www.ellamazel.org

This online resource provides a sampling of facts and opinions about
torture, inviting the reader to continue the pursuit of information in the
continuous outpouring of print and online resources.

The quotes are arranged in a progression of chapters, from defining
torture to defining and honoring human rights (see list below).* It can be
read straight through, or skimmed as a source of individual quotes for use
in reports, speeches, panel discussions, and such. The index of the
"voices"  will be particularly helpful in this regard.

The quotes are excerpted from a wide range of "voices" -- ancient to
contemporary, liberal to conservative, government officials to "ordinary"
people -- culled from books, periodicals, newspapers, press releases, and
web sites.
