US embassy cable - 05AMMAN8340

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

Request for a DVC to Launch Arabic Book Program title "Activists Beyond Borders."
