dear Buck and turq, if you think anyone EVER speaks freely, then I am grateful to you both for your hopefulness. IMO the only people who ever speak completely freely, are those people who feel, no, who experience, who live the reality that they have absolutely nothing to lose.
Having said that, I agree, let the pundits speak. Bring in Intl. Red Cross and such, yes, both here and in India. But Buck, I'd say leave local orgs out of it. And I say, if these pundits were forced as young children to join this program, then they and their families must be paid whatever they are owed and freed immediately. And if the program does continue with volunteer pundits, at least build them an indoor soccer field so that they can get some fun exercise during the long, hard, Iowa winters. Seems like common sense to me.

It would be most helpful for everyone to hear from the pundits, freely. Who is going to speak to the pundits so we can hear the pundit side of this? The Raja Wynne ? It would be most caring to have independent mediation to hear what the pundit side really is. Send in the International Red Cross, the Attorneys General either State or Federal, or draw on the help of non-profit groups that specialize in traffic-ed workers. Let the pundits speak so everyone can hear it. What are the pundits saying? For once, I agree with Buck. That's what my posts today have been hinting at. This whole matter needs to be taken out of the hands of people who profit from it as it is. Turn it over to independent investigators and the press. Don't exclude criminal and human rights violation investigators, either in Fairfield or in India. Attempts to spirit Mishra away in the dead of night should serve only to confirm my suspicions, not dispel them. Any attempt to prevent pundits from speaking directly to the press should be viewed the same way. Any attempt to "cherry-pick" those who get to speak to the press, ditto. Put up or shut up, TM movement.
