Sudan: Embassy in Washington Closes Doors Over Darfur Protests
http://allafrica.com/stories/200408231536.html

A sign reading, "Notice from the Embassy: This is to inform that the Embassy will be closed starting from Monday, August 23, 2004 until further notice" was posted in Arabic and English on the embassy's front door.

"They want to try to reduce as a site for visible public protest," said Salih Booker, executive director of Africa Action. "I have not seen an official statement or notice."

Attempts to reach the Sudanese embassy officials for confirmation and an explanation for the closure have been unsuccessful. The U.S. State Department was unable to provide the information at this time.

Despite the closure, the daily hour-long protest organized by the Sudan Campaign in front of the embassy continued.

2. Where's the compassion part of compassionate conservative?
Where are all the republicans who laud the liberation of Iraqis as an acceptable return on our massive investment of blood and treasury? Where are all the globalists who insist that we must enter into horrible trade agreements b/c we "care" about the downtrodden and dispossessed?

Lying hypocrites...each and every one of them.
