Boldface mine.

The "war on terror" and the war in Iraq has encouraged a new wave of human rights abuse and diverted attention from old ones. Hidden from the eyes of the world, Report 2004 documents festering internal conflicts in places like Chechnya, Colombia, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Sudan, and Nepal which have become a breeding ground of some of the worst atrocities. Violence in Israel and the Occupied Territories has deepened, while elsewhere many governments are openly pursuing repressive agendas.

So now it's America's fault that every last thug on the planet, thugs whose fathers were skinning people alive before Bush was born, are murdering and torturing across Africa and elsewhere.

"While governments have been obsessed with the threat of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, they have allowed the real weapons of mass destruction-- injustice and impunity, poverty, discrimination and racism, the uncontrolled trade in small arms, violence against women and abuse of children -- to go unaddressed," said Irene Khan.

I'm sorry. Weren't these things all going on in Afghanistan a few years ago?

...There are unequivocal signs of a global justice movement -- the millions of citizens who took to the streets around the world in solidarity with the Iraqi people, Spaniards who marched in the name of humanity after the attacks in Madrid, global citizens who gathered at the World Social Forum in Brazil.

Oh yeah. The totalitarian socialists who collected in Brazil were the highlight of human freedom last year. How many Iraqis were freed from tyranny by people marching around with signs?

"Governments need to listen. In times of uncertainty the world needs not only fight against global threats, but to fight for global justice," said Irene Khan.

The United States and its allies have, in just the past couple of years, freed almost fifty million people from two totalitarian regimes, including one in Iraq that had been murdering its own people and people of neighboring nations for a quarter of a century.

I would love to see as a comparison how they documented how America brought down the fall of the Soviet Union, one of the most murderous regimes in human history, but their documents only go back online to 1996.

I'm not surprised that AI isn't afraid of the U.S. We don't operate like most of the other nations on Earth.
