Chaponda said the ranking "did not reflect the situation on the ground" and was "contestable and debatable." Further explaining the government's position, Chaponda said the report's findings were "not substantiated by qualified evidence," and he insinuated that the misinformation may have been the result of a report by an NGO who "had not done thorough research on the matter." In addition to detailing measures the GOM has already taken and will take against TIP, Chaponda commented that an inter-minsterial meeting on the issue concluded that the GOM will release a press statement contesting the Department's ranking, which it did later in the day. Although challenging the accuracy of the report, Chaponda repeatedly declared the GOM's commitment to fighting TIP and support for USG TIP initiatives at UNGA.

Aboulmagd expressed his frustration that even though the GOE was devoting time and resources to TIP, at the expense of other issues, Egypt is still on the Watch List CASE: 7/1/2008 CODE: Anger or frustration ORIGIN: Embassy Buenos Aires CABLEID: 08BUENOSAIRES911 CABLEDATE: 7/1/2008 CLASSIFIC: CONFIDENTIAL HEADING: ARGENTINA: VISITING G/TIP AMBASSADOR PRESENTS ANTI-TIP ACTION PLAN AND OFFERS PARTNERSHIP TO JUSTICE COUNTRY1: Argentina Lagon assured Fernandez that the USG was aware of his "personal commitment" to fight TIP. He further explained that the USG has a political reality at home, too, and that the Congress has mandated that the State Department produce its annual report evaluating the efforts of foreign governments to fight human trafficking. Fernandez interjected by characterizing the report as "terrible!" Lagon acknowledged that he knew the report can be seen as an irritant because it is mandated by Congress to give countries a grade based on performance in protecting victims, prosecuting traffickers, and preventing the crime. "We try to do our job as best we can and offer recommendations on actions we believe would help Argentina in its anti-TIP effort and help the country improve its ranking if completed," he said. He then presented a copy of ref A action plan to Minister Fernandez. 4. (C) Fernandez indicated that he understood, but stated that the USG should "discuss the matter with us first."

On October 17 poloffs and visiting G/TIP officer met with GOU officials from MFA, Ministry of Internal Affairs (MVD), and the Office of the State Prosecutor to discuss TIP issues. MFA said the GOU was surprised and upset by the recent Tier 3 rating, which it considered "politically motivated". CASE: 6/10/2008 CODE: Anger or frustration ORIGIN: Embassy Muscat CABLEID: 08MUSCAT426 CABLEDATE: 6/10/2008 CLASSIFIC: CONFIDENTIAL HEADING: OMAN TAKES ITS CAMPAIGN AGAINST TIP REPORT TO THE GCC, ARAB LEAGUE, MEDIA COUNTRY1: Oman 3. (C) On June 10, the Ambassador spoke again with Sayyid Badr, whose strong feelings of resentment were still clearly evident, after he had briefed "core members" of the Council of Ministers on our TIP report for Oman. (Note: Many ministers currently are outside of the country, including several who are with the Sultan in Europe. End note.) He informed the Ambassador that although the ministers had decided not to suspend consideration of the draft anti-TIP law, they firmly refused to speed up their action on the legislation to meet our 60-day timeline. In light of the local press reports from the GCC ministerial in Jeddah, the Ambassador counseled caution in airing this matter in the media. "It's too late," he replied. "You did this to us first." Sayyid Badr planned to meet with local journalists today to respond to the report's allegations. While he indicated he would not discuss the government's stated intention to re-appraise "all aspects" of our bilateral relationship unless we retracted the Tier 3 designation, he emphasized that Oman could not remain quiet and "had to defend itself." He also delivered a written rebuttal of claims in the TIP report (see paragraph 6 below.) CASE: 6/30/2009 CODE: Anger or frustration ORIGIN: Embassy Cairo CABLEID: 09CAIRO1222 CABLEDATE: 6/30/2009 CLASSIFIC: CONFIDENTIAL HEADING: EGYPTIAN MFA REACTIONS TO 2009 TIP REPORT COUNTRY1: Egypt The Government of Egypt is "frustrated" with its ranking in the 2009 TIP Report because officials felt Egypt had done enough to be moved off the Tier 2 Watch List. Some officials wanted to stop cooperating with the USG on TIP, but agreed to revisit the issue at a later date to give some time for feelings to subside. CASE: 10/19/2009 CODE: Anger or frustration ORIGIN: Embassy Tunis CABLEID: 09TUNIS775 CABLEDATE: 10/19/2009 CLASSIFIC: CONFIDENTIAL HEADING: TUNISIAN MFA PIQUED AT SOURCING OF TIP REPORT, BUT READY TO TALK COUNTRY1: Tunisia "We do not like reports that are not right," she exclaimed. Chtoui asserted that a GOT ad hoc interagency committee working in 2008 had provided the USG with a cache of data and facts that had been "completely ignored" in the Department's final product. Chtoui charged that allegations printed in the report were undocumented, such as a story about the trafficking of a seven year old sourced to a journalist based in the Netherlands. (Note: Our subsequent review of the report found no such reference. End note.) CASE: 10/19/2007 CODE: Anger or frustration ORIGIN: Embassy Tashkent CABLEID: 07TASHKENT1806 CABLEDATE: 10/19/2007 CLASSIFIC: CONFIDENTIAL HEADING: UZBEKS PROMISE POST-ELECTION PROGRESS ON TIP ISSUES COUNTRY1: Uzbekistan MFA Americas Chief Ismat Fayzullaev said that TIP is a global problem, and added "with great regret, I must announce that the US is the biggest global trafficking destination and we hope the USG will take greater steps" to combat TIP. He noted the GOU was "very surprised" by the Tier 3 designation this year and considered this "a politically motivated decision" since the TIP situation is "almost the same, or even worse, in other CIS countries." CASE: 6/17/2009 CODE: Anger or frustration ORIGIN: Embassy Buenos Aires CABLEID: 09BUENOSAIRES706 CABLEDATE: 6/17/2009 CLASSIFIC: CONFIDENTIAL HEADING: (C) ARGENTINA: FOREIGN MINISTER "VERY UPSET" ABOUT TIP REPORT COUNTRY1: Argentina On the instructions of Argentine FM Jorge Taiana, MFA Chief of Staff Alberto D'Alotto called CDA June 17 to express the GOA's irritation with the State Department's Trafficking in Persons (TIP) report which placed Argentina on the Tier 2 Watch List. D'Alotto said Taiana was "very upset" with the report's "willfully ignorant" criticism of GOA efforts to fight TIP. D'Alotto added that the "excessively critical" USG report will make it more difficult for the GOA to work with the USG to combat TIP. Although the report did not make front-page news, Argentina's two leading dailies focused on the negative aspects of the report and their headlines used the word "harsh" to describe the report. As noted in reftels, post remains concerned that failure to recognize the GOA's notable efforts to combat TIP ultimately undermines efforts to strengthen bilateral cooperation in this important human rights and law enforcement issue. CASE: 10/2/2005 CODE: Anger or frustration ORIGIN: Embassy Kuwait CABLEID: 05KUWAIT4279 CABLEDATE: 10/2/2005 CLASSIFIC: CONFIDENTIAL HEADING: AMBASSADOR AND FOREIGN MINISTER DISCUSS WAY AHEAD TO COMBAT TRAFFICKING IN PERSONS COUNTRY1: Kuwait FM Shaykh Dr. Mohammed told the Ambassador that Minister of Social Affairs and Labor Faisal Al- Hajji was very upset by the presidential determination. Calling Al-Hajji a "true believer," the FM said Al-Hajji led the GOK effort to improve working conditions for expatriate laborers. He asserted that Kuwait was "superior" to its neighboring countries on labor issues and was implementing new programs for domestic reasons. The FM restated Kuwait's commitment to protecting its foreign labor force and welcomed a copy of the action plan (which we passed to him) to review areas of immediate concern to the U.S.

  • The Drug Hang Up, America's Fifty-Year Folly
    The Drug Hang Up, America's Fifty-Year Folly by Rufus King Chapter 29 The Bad Scene Today TOBACCO and alcohol owe their important places in American life to two interacting forces. One is the demand created by millions of people who have learned that using these substances makes them feel good. The other is a supply pressed on the market by promoters whose motive is an eagerness for profit. No matter that neither product has redeeming value as nutrient or medicine. No matter that the ravages attributed to both are well known. Feeling good and avoiding feeling bad are among America's most highly esteemed objectives. After all, our noblest declaration of national purpose begins with a reference to "the Pursuit of Happiness." Some of the drugs (other drugs, remember) which so alarm Americans are much better producers of good feelings and better suppressers of pain and anxiety than anything in the liquor or nicotine lines. Most are also less dangerous. Several are widely relied upon in legitimate therapy. Thus it is inevitable that many people who learn about them one way or another will become users, given the chance, and will be willing to pay enough for their desirable effects to make large profits for suppliers. Consumer prices for tobacco products are inflated one or two times over production costs by taxes, while in the case of beverage alcohol the inflation is nearer fivefold. The competing purveyor of illegal substances, on the other hand, keeps his profits, at least while he remains uncaught, to the last penny. The only thing he must somehow manage to do without is the agricultural subsidy paid to tobacco and grain suppliers directly out of federal taxpayers' pockets.

  • The Sociology of Gaslighting
    ASRXXX10.1177/0003122419874843American Sociological ReviewSweet 874843research-article2019 American Sociological Review 2019, Vol. 84(5) 851 –875 The Sociology of Gaslighting © American Sociological Association 2019 https://doi.org/10.1177/0003122419874843DOI: 10.1177/0003122419874843 journals.sagepub.com/home/asr Paige L. Sweeta Abstract Gaslighting—a type of psychological abuse aimed at making victims seem or feel “crazy,” creating a “surreal” interpersonal environment—has captured public attention. Despite the popularity of the term, sociologists have ignored gaslighting, leaving it to be theorized by psychologists. However, this article argues that gaslighting is primarily a sociological rather than a psychological phenomenon. Gaslighting should be understood as rooted in social inequalities, including gender, and executed in power-laden intimate relationships. The theory developed here argues that gaslighting is consequential when perpetrators mobilize gender- based stereotypes and structural and institutional inequalities against victims to manipulate their realities. Using domestic violence as a strategic case study to identify the mechanisms via which gaslighting operates, I reveal how abusers mobilize gendered stereotypes; structural vulnerabilities related to race, nationality, and sexuality; and institutional inequalities against victims to erode their realities. These tactics are gendered in that they rely on the association of femininity with irrationality. Gaslighting offers an opportunity for sociologists to theorize under-recognized,

  • United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit
    In the United States Court of Appeals For the Seventh Circuit No. 09-2173 LANETTE HOLMSTROM, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, et al., Defendants-Appellees. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division. No. 1:07-cv-06044—Robert M. Dow, Jr., Judge. ARGUED FEBRUARY 11, 2010—DECIDED AUGUST 4, 2010 Before KANNE, WOOD, and HAMILTON, Circuit Judges. HAMILTON, Circuit Judge. This case illustrates the dif- ficult problems presented by claims for disability insur- ance by people with serious and painful conditions that do not have objectively measurable symptoms. Plain- tiff Lanette Holmstrom worked as a senior training specialist at a large credit management company. She participated in an employee welfare benefit plan admin- istered by defendant Metropolitan Life Insurance Com- 2 No. 09-2173 pany (“MetLife”). Holmstrom stopped working in Janu- ary 2000 when she developed a painful nerve condition in her right arm. MetLife began paying disability benefits under an “own-occupation” standard. Three surgeries failed to remedy the condition, and Holmstrom was diagnosed with complex regional pain syndrome (“CRPS”). After Holmstrom’s “own-occupation” benefits expired, she submitted a disability claim under the more stringent “any-occupation” definition that applied to longer- term benefits. MetLife approved that claim in July 2002 and began paying benefits. MetLife performed a periodic review in 2005. It determined then that Holmstrom was no longer disabled and terminated her benefits. After MetLife upheld its decision on administrative appeal (Holmstrom’s final administrative remedy), Holmstrom filed suit in federal court under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”).

  • Alleviating Workplace Bullying with Mediation
    Keep Your Lunch Money: Alleviating Workplace Bullying with Mediation BRIANA L. SEAGRIFF* I. INTRODUCTION American popular culture has turned workplace bullies into a parody. From American Idol's Simon' to House's Dr. Gregory House,2 society knows of workplace bullying as an exaggeration for comic effect. In reality, however, when most of us think of bullying, our minds flash back to the playground or schoolyard. As we progress to the professional phases of our lives, we expect a work environment governed by rules that foster respect, as well as personal and professional growth. Some of us, however, discover a bully occupying the cubicle next door, or in the corner office down the hall. Workplace bullying is a serious problem for both employees and employers. "Twenty-three million Americans experience workplace bullying within their work lifetimes." 3 With the economy spiraling downward and job loss on the rise,4 employees may feel as though they are "on thin ice" at * Associate Editor, Ohio State Journalon Dispute Resolution, J.D., The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law, expected 2010; B.S., Industrial & Labor Relations, Cornell University, 2007.
