  We believe that privacy and access
  to information are basic human rights.

Isn't there an apparent contradiction here?  The more information I have 
about you, the less privacy you have.  No doubt these folks are defining 
both privacy and access to information in a way that avoids the conflict, 
but the plainly stated combination sure sounds hard to reconcile.
