Amnesty International sez US Sacrificing Human Rights
The United States has fought the war on terrorism at the expense of human rights, eroding its credibility as a global leader on humanitarian issues, Amnesty International said Tuesday. There's a reason we should concern ourselves with Amnesty International? In an annual report on human rights worldwide, the group took numerous swipes at the U.S. government for its response to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, including the indefinite detainment of foreigners being investigated for terrorism links. "Citizens around the world suffer the consequences when the U.S. defaults on its responsibility to promote human rights," said William F. Schulz, executive director of Amnesty International USA. Hey, William F. Schultz! In Afghanistan we've made this possible. The people we're "unjustly detaining" did this and this, and you didn't do a lot of bitching about it. Oh, and lest we forget, they also did this. So shut up and get out of the way, you insufferable hypocrit. Posted by: Fred Pruitt 2002-05-28 |
