  No Tear Gas for Tahrir: Stop the sale of US tear gas to Egyptian military

  It's an embarassment that "Made in the USA" stands for suppressing democracy, not supporting it.

  The Humanitarian Precautionary Principle, Part 2

  I think your point on Darfur is very interesting. It's true that the expulsion was a reaction to the ICC that was completely independent of any advocacy on the aid groups part.  How about Zimbabwe just before the election? Would you say that aid groups did make mistakes in that case that needlessly led to their expulsion?  Or was it simply something Mugabe would have done anyways?

  Learning Needed

  Good points.
  Part of the problem is that many organization lack internal tools to effectively capture knowledge.  A document is created and an email is sent out, and it goes on the back burner for most (who of course intend to read it later).
  Organizations need to move more communications into intranet systems that help put information in context - that help people find the knowledge when they need it, rather than when it happens to be emailed.  Preparing for a trip to Tanzania? Well, I should quickly be able to see the latest news, past lessons-learned documents, and most importantly the people who have recently worked in that country who might have advice.
  Bloggers are needed to compliment these systems.  Depending on the need for keeping information confidential, every large organization should have an internal or external blog that highlights new knowledge shared and points people to knowledge docs they might need due to a current crisis.
  Overall, these NGOs and Intra-GOs need to place far more importance on knowledge capture and sharing.
