Pentagon critics are treating a leaked Red Cross assessment--first reported in The Wall Street Journal last Friday--as proof that detainee abuse was widespread in Iraq and that the military was unresponsive to complaints.
The Red Cross was upset from the start that the Bush Administration didn't grant the detainees "prisoner of war" status, never mind that their terrorist nature is clearly a break from the kind of war rules under which the Red Cross has typically operated.
For example, none of the detainees met such Geneva Convention criteria as fighting in uniform and belonging to a military organization with an identifiable command structure that is itself committed to upholding the laws of war.

 Double Cross
In Double Cross, Jacalyn D. Harden provides an essential rethinking of the ways we understand and talk about race, using an examination of the Japanese American community of Chicago's Far North Side to form an innovative new framework for looking at race, identity, and political change.
Moving from the Great Migration to the "great relocation" to gentrification, Harden explores the shared history of civil rights struggles that firmly links Japanese and African Americans, most importantly the issue of reparations (for internment during World War II and slavery, respectively).
Double Cross is a major contribution to our thought about race relations, challenging orthodoxy and shedding new light on the complex identities, conflicting interests, and external forces that have defined the concept of race in the United States.

Healy, shortly after she took office, discovered that the American Red Cross had acquiesced for decades in the policy of the International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent to oppose accepting Magen David Adom as a legitimate emblem of the Israeli equivalent of the Red Cross.
She made it clear to the federation and her own board that the American Red Cross was no longer prepared to accept in silence a policy that was inimical to our deepest held values and that put the lie to the federation's claims of universality.
As a part of Healy's preparations for a strategic approach to the fight to force the federation to forswear its discriminatory policy against Israel, she asked me to accept appointment as ambassador at large (a high sounding but unpaid and powerless position), and to advise her when she felt the need for advice.
