Amazing find from PubliusPundit that will have you scratching your head..... AN EXPERIMENT FOR AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL Before anything, read Austin Bay’s fabulous piece fisking Amnesty International on their bizarre claim that Gitmo and Abu Ghraib are modern day gulags, and that the U.S. is the leader in human rights abuses in the world (link below). Hahahahahaha. Right. Anyhow, I received an email with a really good idea: Go to Google News and search for stories about “human rights abuses xxx” where xxx is the name of a country. Let’s see the results as of this moment. United States: 2,740 Iran: 374 China: 824 Sudan: 400 Zimbabwe: 265 Belarus: 39 Russia: 483 Burma: 68 Saudi Arabia: 142 Nepal: 232 Syria: 90 Cuba: 1,330 — because that’s where Guantanamo is. So while the press covered 2,740 stories on American “human rights abuses,” it only covered with 2,917 stories combined those of some of the most degenerate regimes on the planet. Where, exactly, do the priorities of Amnesty International and the mainstream press lie? For more, let’s not forget the similar Human Rights Watch report from earlier in the year. publiuspundit.com austinbay.net publiuspundit.com Ö¿Ö
