| #8 Sounds good to me, now if you can get North Korea, Sudan, Al-Qaida, Burma, China, Iran, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and about 50 other countries to stop you may have something. We arent really that bad when you look at the world as a whole are we? |

| #7 These people are hypocrites, and I hope that it is clearly seen that they are not concerned whatsoever with any aspect of the torture issue. I have yet to see them demonstrate for the systematic use of torture in Turkey or Iran, nor have they demonstrated against the impunity enjoyed by security forces under these regimes. It is only human rights groups under these regimes that continue to battle against torture, always with the threat of extrajudicial murder hanging over them. If these Western groups were truly concerned about the issue of torture, they would have long worked against it, but it is obvious that their only real issue is criticism of the US. I have also been known to criticize the US, as well as the EU, but I have done so against policies or attitudes that have permitted Turkey to continue its gross human rights violations, instead of using this issue as a means of promoting a personal, ideological vendetta. I truly despise all of these so-called "progressives" when they are, in fact, selfish in the extreme, and at the expense of hundreds of thousands of lives. |
