HRW SUSPENDS NAZI WORSHIPER MARK GARLASCO

Well I guess there's some progress now regarding the phony, awful Human Rights Watch. Honest Reporting tells that Mark Garlasco, collector of nazi memorabilia spoken about earlier over here, has been suspended following an outburst:
Initially, HRW used every means available to defend Garlasco, including, as revealed by Harry's Place blog, resorting to creating a fake "activist" with a Middle Eastern sounding name to post comments defending Garlasco on various blog sites.

Mark Gardner of the CST blog addresses HRW's response, which involved attacking Jewish and pro-Israel organizations rather than the very legitimate concerns arising from Garlasco's collecting of Nazi memorabilia.

[...]

HRW has finally succumbed to pressure by suspending Garlasco (pictured here wearing a Nazi-themed sweatshirt) with pay "pending an investigation," according to HRW's associate director Caroll Bogert. "We have questions about whether we have learned everything we need to know," she said.
I'm not sure they have. They still need to consider their own anti-Israel bias, and how it draws in people of Garlasco's repulsive standing. For now, I think they stand revealed as the hypocrites they are.
