Would you like this on your blog?

We're starting a Bloggers Against Torture blogroll alliance here

Next month is Torture Awareness Month. To help NGOs like Amnesty and Human Right First with their campaign, I've created a blogroll called Bloggers Against Torture. To add yourselves to the blogroll, all you need to do is help promote Torture Awareness Month by mentioning it on your blog. You can simply talk about it, you can use the graphic and link above, or you can grab the blogroll script from Bloggers Against Torture for some reciprocal linking goodness.

Jeremiah, you are a scoundral. If you make up some graphics or buttons like that, I shall never, ever, forgive you! And I most certainly won't be linking them from the Bloggers Against Torture site ;-)

Aunty Ism,
Thank you so much, of course I wouldn't mind you spreading the word. Spread it like wild-fire!
I'm at work right now, but I'll be able to get up some more detailed help for bloggers with their template and adding the button tonight. I should have it up by 6 hours time.

Sokari, the blog has been updated retrospectively. For example, if someone was tortured in January 2002, I write the entry in January 2002, even if we only find out about it this year.

As for the low number of comments... there aren't very many people who frequent a blog about torture. It's not the kind of place you can hang out to chat. The large number of comments here is because of the blogger alliance.

Do you have a "Bloggers for torture, but only when it is absolutely necessary" affiliate?

I could get behind that.

Hi anonymous. Strangely yes. For example, Jon Swift's blog, like President Bush, is anti-torture except when it's really really really necessary. Though I have a feeling that it's in much the same way that The General is 110% heterosexual.

But of course, that isn't our official position. If you can, in good conscience, tick "yes" to all questions in the previous link, I'd like to see you admit it. And then do your community a favour and notify the authorities of your whereabouts.

Great Idea indeed. The graphic looks solid and your site is a feature in my blog.
