#1 Does anyone at these groups have even a clue as to why they are loosing any respect they may have had with a large segment of the US population? Can you say "Moral Relativism?" Good, I thought you could.

#2 Hmm... no mention that the rape squads which are no longer on the loose, the rape rooms are closed down and the people-shreadders are shutdown (not to mention the 'real' torture (such as the gouging out of a man's daughter's eyes right in front of him) or the mass graves which are no longer being filled.)

Oh! Thats right! That was all done (including the head-chopping) by muslims so its all right with Amnesty International and the general media.

Excuse me I have to go puke.....

#3 The report cites the hundreds of foreign nationals who remain in indefinite detention without charge or trial in U.S. custody at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

Not one of the people at Gitmo are entitled to any sort of protection under any treaty the US has signed.

#5 It also details alleged unlawful killings of civilians by coalition troops in Iraq..

Has this report been edited?? I couldn't find the above passage in the article posted on the WTOP site.

#6 This dates me, but I remember when Amnesty International would bitch loud and long about the kind of stuff Sadaam did--and America served as the guideline on human rights, not the enemy of human rights. These guys make me sick now. They're just a lie.

Nice comments, everyone.

#7 I remember a buddy of mine had an AI sticker on his car a long long time ago. I seriously doubt he supports them any more. They are merely useful idiots for the militant Islamic movement. What jackoffs.

#8 I've always wondered how many people these self important asshat groups like AI and Human Rights Watch have indirectly killed because they have absolutely no concept of the realities of the real world or don't go after crimes that don't fit their agendas. I'd be willing to bet it's more then one.

#9 Crap like this makes me regret attending Amnesty concerts in the 1980s. What a bunch of tunnel-visioned ostriches!

#10 
Group: Terror War Has Hurt Human Rights
The headline left out: "but of course terrorism itself hasn't hurt a fly."

What a bunch of useless wankers.

Since they're so upset about Gitmo, I have a suggestion. AI members have to take the inmates home and be responsible for them and whatever they do. If the terrorists are the sweet, misunderstood boy scouts AI claims they are, there won't be a problem, right?

Any volunteers from AI? Anyone?

I thought not.

#11 Britain was singled out for holding 14 foreign nationals under anti-terrorism laws that allow indefinite detention without charge of trial.

Hotel Britania isn't detaining these men - theyre free to walk away any time they like. They're just not allowed to remain in Britain as free men. If they agreed go back to the countries they came from, they'd be free again. They have no business in this country; they arrived uninvited and probably with the intention of causing trouble. The choice to be imprisoned is a daily choice, made by them.

#12 Human rights? Imagine what type of so-called human rights any 'infidel' would have under jihadic rule.

Think, not bash, simply driven by your limousine liberal, snobbish hatred for Bush!

The leftist fools actual foresee themselves as the ones to 'reason' with these bloodthirsty death cultists......if only they can elect John Forbes Kerry ..FORGET IT Charley!

The sell-outs are only being used by the enemy and will be disposed of when no longer of any use.

#13 where was amnesty's condemations during the last 25 years when Amercicans were targeted by terrorist? nowhere to be found!

if making these asshats happy means not fighting back then screw them..i hope no administration ever goes back to appeasement and allowing our people to be killed and maimed without retailiation.

at least now, under the Bush doctrine, terrorist enablers know there will be reprecussions for thier actions.

#15 I was a member of AI years ago. Since then, as others have pointed out, its been hijacked by leftists/islamicists and in no way resembles the organization I knew, which was concerned with highlighting the plight of specific individuals who were imprisoned or tortured for their beliefs. Since their main targets (The USA and Israel) don't do this, they have had to completely change their tactics and resort to this 'international law' and 'human rights' BS.

#16 "The U.S.-led war on terror has produced the most sustained attack on human rights and international law in 50 years, Amnesty International said in its annual report."

I guess that whole USSR/PRChina/International Communist Utopia thing never happened, huh?
