Tom Brosz: And there is something else that should be remembered: At least now Iraq is run by people who will actually pay attention to Amnesty International.

Half a world away: Iraq

Not a great picture, as an occupier is required under laws and agreements to guarantee the security of the people.

Getting a bit closer to home: Guantanamo

"Guantánamo Bay: a human rights scandal"

And home: Texas

"USA: Another Texas injustice: Mentally ill man two months from execution."

There's more, but that's enough. Do you want to correct that statement about Iraq being occupied by a country which cares about Amnesty Internation?

The US USED to be a bastion of Human Rights. It is not anymore. Really.
