Outspoken international NGOs --- Thanks Shane. Although you've noted MSF, this isn't of course an issue unique to it. I've been asked quite a few times by international NGOs working in Myanmar to help them out of holes they've dug for themselves by being "outspoken" at the international HQ level, disregarding the advice of their local officers at the national level in the country concerned. It was not an issue of principle, but of methods chosen.
