U.S. human rights record called out by China
Did you ever think that we'd be accused of human rights violations by the likes of China? The report from Beijing:
"In 2004 the atrocity of US troops abusing Iraqi POWs exposed the dark side of human rights performance of the United States. The scandal shocked the humanity and was condemned by the international community. It is quite ironic that on Feb. 28 of this year, the State Department of the United States once again posed as the 'the world human rights police' and released its Country Reports on Human Rights Practices for 2004."

Pathetic. Nothing like setting a good example.

Interesting irony I read about in Smithsonian, the precursor to the World Court at the Hague was when the United State sued Great Britain over breach of its neutrality during the Civil War. A five nation panel awarded the U.S. 15 million. First thing W did in his first term was refuse to recognize the world court, the second thing he did was close Reagan, Bush, and Clinton's papers to release. Order of law seems to apply to only some of the people some of the time. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy about our right to invade Iraq, Abu Graib, Gitmo, why Arabs attack us when Reagan, Bush I and Co. really gave South Americans reason to want to, tort-reform; OH, and I while I'm at it-Ann Coulter deciding what should be taught in our school systems.
