Two and a half years ago, I produced a short documentary titled A Dissenting Voice. The documentary follows my friend Walter Ducharme, a long-time Cambridge resident and anti-war activist, as he works in a campaign for the impeachment of George Bush.

At the time, there was a huge controversy surrounding the actual number of people who had attended the event organized by the Nation of Islam. The National Park Service claimed the number to be well below one million whereas the organizers estimated a figure above one million people. Dr. Farouk El-Baz, who is the director of the Center for Remote Sensing, was approached back then to provide a scientifically more accurate number that would help settle the dispute.

So with the historic event of President Barack Obama’s inauguration approaching, Dr. El-Baz has been bombarded with telephone calls from the news media.

José Miguel Vivanco, Executive Director for the Americas of the US-based NGO Human Rights Watch spoke recently at an event organized by the Carr Center for Human Rights at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government about the current state of human rights in Colombia and Venezuela.
At first glance, Presidents Chávez and Uribe seemingly belong to opposite sides of the political spectrum but, upon closer examination, their government's human rights records share a great deal in common in terms of violations that threaten the rule of law. Mr. Vivanco kindly agreed to an interview over the phone, in which he talks about US foreign policy towards Latin America, human rights issues in Colombia and Venezuela and his recent expulsion from Venezuela.
