OMB!! this is awesome news! i can't help smiling as i read this post, thanks Namdrol for checking in on the CTA and sharing this great news! the tide is changing! the epic ending to this story is about to unfold!
If i remember correctly, i went to the CTA website few months ago and there was a special section just for anti-DS propaganda... the whole website theme looks different now actually.. it used to be maroon (like monk's robes) and beige, now its blue and green. I just went again to check the website, the special section is gone, and indeed, the links to articles on CTA's stand on DS draws a blank =D =D
i'm really happy! cos i remember feeling upset about how they wrote about DS that time, its like the feeling of someone you hold dear to you whom would never hurt anyone ever being defamed for manslaughter no valid reason. ah yes... felt a sense of injustice.
CTA removing the articles means there must be a lot of pressure on them, most probably from the international community. CTA knows that if they want to survive in this world, they need to make friends with everyone. and doing things which are against international standards for human rights and saying things which are obviously contradictory, is a BIG BIG deal breaker.
There must have been enough noise made by the international community to make CTA begin the reversal of their stand on DS, and these international movers and shakers must have been working overtly and covertly... makes my hair stand to imagine all the DS practitioners all over the world, quietly working and unknowingly doing it together to lift the ban.
Reminds me of this song by the late Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey: "There can be miracles when you believe, though hope is frail, its hard to kill... who knows what miracles, you can achieve, when you believe, somehow you will.... you will when you believe..."
DS ninja workers.... keep it up! CTA and the world is watching, listening and changing!
