As many of you know… I worked for Amnesty International this last year. My last big victory before I left to start our firm, was convincing the organization to bring out the GITMO cell from Australia during the campaign season here in the states. It was NOT an easy task… but I had the support from a great boss, Larry Cox (seen in the video.)
Last night they did a snippet of this cell on the ground in PA. Awesome to see ideas manifest into reality.

I saw the Daily Show segment. Larry Cox did a good job responding to the more ridiculous questions whilst putting across Amnesty’s message.
Larry told the staff and board that it was the strangest interview he’s ever done.
Simon,
I don’t doubt it. He kinda expected it… and played along well. Kudos for keeping it light where needed and on point about the human rights when needed as well.
Good to see you on spidelblog ;)

Although strange, we are glad to see such a big name as John Stewart discuss what Amnesty is doing in the field of torture abolition.
