| U. S. State Dept: Iraq tops list for 2004 human rights abuses |
| 2005-03-01 |
| The annual report on human rights released by the State Department on Monday said that Iraqi government topped the list for human rights abuses last year that included torture, rape and illegal detentions after interim administration took charge in June. The twats are still p. o. ed that DOD got to run CAP instead of State. Condi: clean up the mess at Foggy Bottom! It cited reports of arbitrary deprivation of life, torture, impunity, poor prison conditions and arbitrary arrest and detention. And Kimmy doesn't do any of that "Maddie told me so." The report, however, said the Iraqis respected human rights, but serious problems remained as the government and US-led forces fought a violent insurgency. Did anyone tell State it is a war zone? The State Department also criticized countries like North Korea, Syria and Iran, and US allies, including Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan for poor showings on human rights issues. Among the worst abuses cited in the report were torture in Syria, serious abuses in China and the crisis in Sudan, where a government-backed militia is killing civilians. North Korea was criticized as one of the world's most brutal regimes, while Egypt and Iran were also condemned for their record on human rights. "But they all pale in comparison to the barbarity in Iraq," said J. Smedley Smegma, State Department spokeseunuch. ''What it shows is that we don't look the other way,'' a State Department official said with a Eddie Haskell "Aren't I clever?" smirk on his puss. ''There are countries we support and that are friends, and when they have practices that don't meet international standards, we don't hesitate to call a spade a spade racist.,'' he said. |

| #1 Header: Iraq tops list for 2004 human rights abuses This header is a lie. Iraq is mentioned, but does not top the list. |
