| UN rights body rejects call for Guantanamo probe |
| 2005-04-22 |
| The United States comfortably defeated a call to the UN's top human rights body on Thursday to launch a probe into alleged violations at Guantanamo Bay. The United Nations Commission on Human Rights rejected by 22 votes to 8, with 23 abstentions, a resolution brought by Cuba calling for the setting up of a special UN investigator for the detention centre at a US naval base on its territory. |

| #8 Fox has his own little-known camps on Mexico's southern border. "Harsh" doesn't do them justice. Mexico has little sympathy (or food or water) for illegals entering their country from Guatemala,El Salvador, et al |

| #3 So who voted against the U.S. besides Cuba (that bastion of civil rights). Every day life (in the un) gets a little stranger. This is why they need John Bolton at the un. He would talk mean to the Cubans and make them play nice. |
