I was going to post this link under the heading "Human Rights Psycho Hose Beasts."

To target the U.S. on human rights, particularly on our treatment of the prisoners in Guantanamo, is so ludicrous I'm surprised they had the nerve bring the subject up, much less make a major issue of it.

These prisoners are not farmers and shopkeepers who were drafted into the army and would just as soon go home and go back to work when the war is over. These people are members of Al-Quaeda, and each and every one of them would cheerfully give his life to see Americans die by the thousands. After their capture, ninety-nine out of a hundred governments throughout history would have killed them in their tracks. We're keeping them in a style that is about two steps below a luxury hotel.

Amnesty International, an organization which certainly started out with noble motives, seems like many others of its kind to have been co-opted by the left and degenerated into a forum for attacks on the U.S. and the West.

To be fair, the original report also mentions violations in many countries. Why the big story is the United States may have something to do with the media as well as the source.
