Democracy off and running in cradle of Arab Spring

Running for its life!

Here's a story about an Amnesty International report released a week ago that for some reason didn't get a lot of notice on this side of the Atlantic.

The story is a little short on specifics, I suppose to becalm the reader who may still harbor delusions about the liberation of the Tunisian masses from the clutches of a Western-backed dictator.

It doesn't mention the woman who was recently charged with immorality after being gang-raped by four liberated policemen for example.

But let us suspend judgement for the moment; building a democracy takes time...
