How many friends does your favourite tyrant have?

Find out on Tyrannybook, a project by Amnesty International. Visit the site to view profiles of your favourite military dictator, keep tabs on their latest human rights crimes and post benign messages on their wall like "Kim Jong-Il is a total knob-head. LOL".  That'll teach 'em!

Actually it is an interesting way of keeping tabs on the activities of a list of 10 political figures who have been accused of human rights violations. The profiles are updates in real time and people who sign up (the allies) can connect with each other and learn about different regimes around the world. Unfortunately there is no "dislike" button on Tyrannybook either and you can't poke the tyrants. Perhaps these features need to be developed?
