Also, though he avoids directly citing the thousands of women and children being brutally raped in the Congo (not to mention the thousands of murdered husbands first forced to witness these atrocities committed to their families before they take their last breaths), they've posted the statement of Senator Russ Feingold urging the United States to act on the rapidly escalating crisis.
