lol… errrrr… asking Abdi to be smart is like asking a rock to be champagne. Sadly, Abdi is a bitter, ignorant, bigot. You state well that no nation in the history of the world is / has been perfect. I do believe that the goodness of the USA outweighs the bad. Abdi see’s ZERO good in the USA. This is sad because I’m sure this nation has been relatively good to him.

Amnesty accuses US over ‘torture’ Governments around the world betrayed their commitment to human rights in 2004, Amnesty International says. In a 300-page annual report, the group accused the US government of damaging human rights with its attitude to torture and treatment of detainees. This granted "a licence to others to commit abuse with impunity", the human rights advocates said. The report also criticised the world as a whole for failing to act over crises, notably in Sudan’s Darfur region. Afghanistan was slipping into a "downward spiral of lawlessness and instability", it added. ‘No safer’ The report, published on Wednesday, accused governments of adhering stubbornly to "politically convenient" but inefficient tactics to address terrorism in 2004, despite a lack of success. Most computers will open PDF documents automatically, but you may need to download Adobe Acrobat Reader The televised beheading of captives in Iraq, the bombing of commuter trains in Madrid and the siege at a school in Beslan in Russia showed that "four years after 9/11, the promise to make the world a safer place remains hollow", secretary general Irene Khan said. In Iraq some of the violence could be blamed on armed groups but the report also blamed US-led coalition forces for "unlawful killings, torture and other violations". "Torture and ill-treatment by US-led forces were widely reported," it added. The report also highlighted the London-based organisation’s concerns about: a.. A lack of accountability for human rights violations in Haiti and in the Democratic Republic of Congo b.. Reported abuses by Russian forces in Chechnya c.. New levels of brutality against civilians by armed groups in places like Iraq d.. Slow progress in achieving the Millennium Development goals e.. Indifference to violence against women f.. Lack of a full independent investigation into abuses against detainees in US custody in Iraq, Afghanistan and Guantanamo Bay. ‘Unfair trials’ In its wide-ranging review of 131 countries and five world regions, Amnesty International said the US government’s selective disregard for international law and reported abuses of detainees was sending a "permissive signal to abusive governments". "The US, as the unrivalled political, military and economic hyper-power, sets the tone for governmental behaviour worldwide," she said. The UN Commission of Human Rights has become a forum for horse-trading on human rights Irene Khan Amnesty International "When the most powerful country in the world thumbs its nose at the rule of law and human rights, it grants a licence to others to commit abuse with impunity." The administration was seeking "to dilute the absolute ban on torture", Ms Khan added. The US government has not commented on the report so far. A spokesman for the US defence department, Navy Lt Cmdr Joe Carpenter, told the Associated Press news agency that the US government continued to be a leader in human rights, treating detainees humanely and investigating all claims of abuse. But he said he had not seen the report and declined to discuss it. Many countries used anti-terror rhetoric to justify arbitrary detentions and unfair trials, it said, citing China’s arrest of thousands of ethnic Uighurs and similar acts in India, Malaysia, Nepal and Pakistan. Ms Khan also condemned the United Nations Commission on Human Rights for failing to stand up for those supposedly in its care. "The UN Commission of Human Rights has become a forum for horse-trading on human rights," she said. "Last year the commission dropped Iraq from scrutiny, could not agree on action on Chechnya, Nepal or Zimbabwe and was silent on Guantanamo Bay."
