Amnesty International 2005 annual report: USA gets bad grades

Yesterday, Amnesty International released its 2005 annual report outlining the state of human rights around the world, country by country.

The U.S. didn't score very high because of the Bush administration's failure to fully investigate the facts surrounding the torture of detainees on the "war on terror" and its failure to prosecute anyone at the higher levels in the chain of command. They continue to blame it on "a few bad apples", as if Lynndie England could have thought the whole thing up on her own.
