Great Job, America!
Amnesty Internation has declared that human rights are being rolled back around the World, and the United States is the chief culprit. “When the most powerful country in the world thumbs its nose at the rule of law and human rights, it grants a licence to others to commit abuse with impunity.”
We should congratulate ourselves. As citizens of a state that democratically elects its leaders, and which just reelected the leaders responsible for these policies, we share in this guilt.

To put the U.S. treatment of terrorists in prison on an equal moral plane with the terrible human rights abuses of Sadaam Hussein, Rwanda, Liberia, Zimbabwe, Milosevich, Turkmenistan, etc. is just plain foolish and strips Amnesty Intl. of all credibility.
