Amnes. Intern. finds United States to be Morally Abject

Amnesty International referred to Gitmo as "the gulag of our time." Sorry, but that's ridiculous. Somebody remind AI that 30 - 50 million people died in the Gulags, hundreds of thousands were tortured without dying ... and many of them innocent of any crime.

Amnesty International also hates the United States... their harshest words are usually for the United States just to get interest. Nobody will care if they focus on the man-made famine in North Korea where people have resorted to canibalism because food is being purposefully withheld from the public. They won't focus on the ethnic genocide in the Darfur. They didn't focus on the ethnic Genocide in Rwanda, Cambodia, or the Balkins ... until after the United States stepped in. I assume they figure that everybody knows what's going on in the Darfur, or North Korea, or Saudi Arabia ... the tens of thousands killed for little reason. But, I guess, few people know about the "mishandling of the Qur'an," in Gitmo and Guantanamo Bay... so they can spend their resources covering that.
