I keep coming back to this statement which @gathara made years ago:
"We have to keep the dream of a better Kenya alive by constantly articulating and sharing it and refusing to let it die."
I first reported CIA involvement in Kenyan CT ops in "Horn of Terror: Report of US-led Mass Extra-ordinary Renditions from Kenya to Somalia, Ethiopia, and Guantanamo Bay, January-June 2007." We presented it to the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights on 6th July 2007.
