I had never heard of this man until now, and I can't believe something of this magnitude stayed under the radar for over 20 years. Spread the word. Tell people about who he is. And hopefully in 2012 he will be captured and punished for the disgusting crimes he has committed.

Sadly it's not even just in Uganda where this happens.

I felt the exposition of this piece was a bit self serving. It almost seems like he thinks HE (or his organization) is the ONLY one that is aware enough to speak on this & stop it.

I was listening to discussion about this on a morning news program a week or so back & a foreign correspondent who's been covering the crisis in Uganda for over 13 years pointed out that there's a few things this video overlooks or misrepresents. Among other things, Kony was driven out of power & out of the country by Uganda's own ppl several years ago. it's not as though he's operating THERE or w/ the complicity of the ppl of Uganda & sadly...the neither the U.S. gov't nor any other similar entity will give this any real attention b/c it does not have a direct impact on INTERESTS (i.e. oil). THAT'S what makes it worse than it already is.
