McNutt says - If you criticize Bush, you are unpatriotic. Same old garbage.

Well, I have come across some authors from other countries who are "sure" that Amnesty, Human Rights Watch and ICRC are lapdogs of the US administration!

Why are they [Amnesty International] not in Cuba, the Sudan, Nigeria...? Cuba: amnestyusa.org Sudan: amnestyusa.org Nigeria: amnestyusa.org There were many links for each country. I chose just one for each country you cited. The Italian, who was shot in cold blood, would, I'm sure, preferred to have been "humiliated" with a pair of ladies panties instead of having the back of his head blown off. I don't believe the people who were raped, sodomized, dripped-on with acid, attacked by a dog while hooded and naked, held naked and wet in cold, empty, dark cells, bound for long periods in "stress positions," had their heads beaten against stone walls, forced to stand for long periods, deprived of sleep for four days with loud noises and lights, subjected to electric shocks, forced to masturbate toward the mouth of other prisoners (on camera and with their faces showing), kicked, beaten, and in some cases actually murdered were the ones blew the back of that man's head off, do you? The above is the treatment you describe dismissively as being "humiliated with a pair of ladies panties." Something must be missing in you, I think. Is it your belief, KM, that the tortured prisoners were directly or indirectly responsible for 9/11? BTW: Are you aware that "up to 90 percent of Iraqi detainees were arrested "by mistake," according to coalition intelligence officers"?

"Despite claims this week by Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld to be "stunned" by abuses in Abu Ghraib, and that these were an "exception" and "not a pattern or practice", Amnesty International has presented consistent allegations of brutality and cruelty by US agents against detainees at the highest levels of the US Government, including the White House, the Department of Defense, and the State Department for the past two years. Last July, the organization raised allegations of torture and ill-treatment of Iraqi detainees by US and Coalition forces in a memorandum to the US Government and Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) in Iraq. The allegations included beatings, electric shocks, sleep deprivation, hooding, and prolonged forced standing and kneeling. It received no response nor any indication from the administration or the CPA that an investigation took place." amnestyusa.org
