"Nossel came to PEN after a year's
stint as Executive Director of Amnesty International, USA (AI), in 2012. Before
that she served in Hillary Clinton's State Department as Deputy Assistant
Secretary of State for International Organization Affairs." "Before working at
State, Nossel worked at Human Rights Watch, which has come under increasing
criticism for its distorted accounts of the Chavez government in Venezuela and
other official enemies of the US. And before that she worked at the UN under
Richard Holbrooke as the Clintons masterminded the bombing of Yugoslavia and
pushed NATO eastward in violation of assurances given by Reagan to Gorbachev."
"Here we behold a revolving door between government and human rights NGOs, much
like the one connecting the Pentagon and defense contractors or between
regulatory agencies and the corporate entities they are to regulate."
