This morning, Amnesty International, the human rights organization for which I serve as Philadelphia Area Coordinator, released its annual report on the state of human rights around the world.
Last year's report contained some heavy criticism of the Bush administration's conduct in the "war on terror", citing torture, unlawful detentions, etc. The Bush administration reacted by calling Amnesty's carefully researched findings "absurd", and saying that they do not take Amnesty's reports seriously. (Never mind the fact that they quoted our reports on Saddam Hussein's human rights abuses to justify their attack on Iraq. They take us seriously when our reports suit their agenda.)
Will they once again resort to their shoot-the-messenger tactics? Will they react to this year's report by again trying to discredit us?
Check out this year's report and assess the issues for yourself.
