Posted by David Bernstein: Is Human Rights Watch's Marc Garlasco A Nazi-Obsessed Collector? http://volokh.com/archives/archive_2009_09_06-2009_09_12.shtml#1252419984
[1]Well, yes. But if you're going to hire pro-Palestinian activists to run your Middle East division, why not throw in an avid collector of Nazi memorabilia to be your military investigator for good measure? I understand there are people who collect Nazi memorabilia for innocuous reasons, and in Garalasco's case, his grandfather served seven years in the Nazi military. Perhaps there's not much more to it than that. But it's still, to say the least, a rather odd hobby for someone hired to be a human rights organization's point man on Israel issues. Meanwhile NGO Monitor has released a [2]devastating, detailed, and well-documented report analysis of HRW's Israel reporting.
