The AP reports that eight activists, including Reps. Keith Ellison (D-MN), Donna Edwards (D-MD), John Lewis (D-GA), and Lynn Woolsey (D-CA) were "led away from the [Sudanese] embassy in handcuffs Monday after crossing a police line." The activists were protesting Sudan's expulsion of aid groups from the Darfur region. Ellison said "it is wrong to deny aid to what he calls 'the most vulnerable people on our planet.'"

We remember Rawanda, Jewish Holocaust and resently the Palestine Holocaust yet we didn't learn from it. Darfur has thousands dying every day it's expect without help millions will be dead in a month. We're debating torture while closing turning our backs on Darfur. Many such as George Clooney and Bono have yelled for help and only hear silence in return.
