Tuesday October 17, 2006 zSB(3,3) Category: International Human Rights President Bush signs the largely symbolic End Demand for Sex Trafficking Act of 2005. Image courtesy of the U.S. House of Representatives. I'm not really in the habit of reading John Aravosis' AMERICAblog , but there are times when he brings attention to things that we should be outraged about, but aren't. Here's a good example: In at least one instance, the Bush administration actually fired an official due to his opposition to sex slavery in the Northern Mariana Islands simply because the government of the Islands, a U.S. protectorate, was represented at the time by then-powerful, now-disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff . I can't put it any better than Aravosis didand this is a case where his sledgehammer rhetoric is entirely justified: Remember how just two years ago George Bush claimed he wanted to put a stop to human trafficking - i.e., women being forced into sexual slavery?
