Carpe Diem Ethiopia post an open letter from Birtukan Mideksa to the US ambassador, Vicki Huddleston. He comments “Judge Bertukan’s disgust with the U.S. Ambassador’s duplicity, however, is a searing indictment of the neocon dilemma: support for governments that repress their people but are declared allies in the U.S.-led war against terrorism. Judge Birtukan’s epistle, like Martin Luther King’s, ends with her repeated hope that a bright future awaits her followers and her nation.”
