Letta Tayler of Human Rights Watch has this article at Salon. My favorite part is Murad Zafir’s quote. Murad is an old friend, and if you know him, then you can’t help but picture him saying this and double-up in laughter. One of my favorite DC conferences was one from last summer in which Murad and I were on the same panel – he gave the most entertaining presentation on Yemeni politics I have ever heard.
