if you can add this to the previous comment, please do:

another posting from the same site, this one by Rabbi Morris Allen (founder of the organization Hekhsher Tzedek) who visited Postville and spoke with both townspeople and some of the fired workers – many of whom face charges and have no income. A local church is acting as a ‘city of refuge’; donation information is included in the posting:

http://jcarrot.org/interview-with-an-agriprocessors-mashgiach/#more-1990

Leah Koenig, a Jewish vegetarian (can you tell) blogger, June 12th, 2008, published an interview with a former Mashgiach at Agriprocessors. She summarizes her thoughts afterward:

I am by no means an Agriprocessors supporter after talking with Zalman. However, I was able to see that some of the major problems associated with Agriprocessors are not necessarily the result of “evil” leadership, but more of an “evil” system of industrial agriculture across the board. However, I still expect far better from the kosher industry and think we as a community have a right to demand it.
