    "United States Holocaust Memorial Council: Elliot Abrams, of Virginia, for a five-year term beginning 01/16/09"

    Funny, how a guy can get appointed to a body such as that, not to mention be the State Department's top human rights official, but can't be bothered to notice the huge pile of dead people in El Salvador that his associates left behind.

    Guess it has to be in the millions before it's an atrocity...
