(John) O'Sullivan's First Law states that all organizations that are not explicitly conservative become left-wing over time.

(John) O'Sullivan's First Law states that all organizations that are not explicitly conservative become left-wing over time. For redundant proof, look to Amnesty International. Its political neutrality long ago morphed into Third Worldism and anti-Western agitprop. Quite typically, Irene Khan, the present secretary general, calls Guantanamo "the Gulag of our times," and William Schulz, the organization's U.S. director, echoes her. Twenty-five million or so were deported in cattle trains to the real Gulag. They went there to die, as Solzhenitsyn explains on the very first page of his masterpiece, The Gulag Archipelago, and die they did, also in the millions, from frost, starvation, disease, forced labor in a mine or forest, a bullet from a guard. The corpses couldn't be buried in the permafrost. Another survivor, Evgenia Ginzburg, came upon a sleigh laden with cuts of human flesh. Any of that going on in Guantanamo, with its three squares a day and prayer rugs? Is the American KGB busy filling quotas of victims? Apparatchiks like Khan and Schulz are not ignorant slanderers but knowing exploiters of the innocent dead in a real atrocity, and that is hard to forgive.
