"Human Rights" wackos accuse US while ignoring serious war crimes of the enemy

BBC:

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.

Oh, for the good old days of Taliban style "stability" in Afghanistan. These guys are turning themselves into a joke with their anti US attitude.

...

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.

If they were truly interested in Human Rights, they would condemn the perpetrators of these war crimes instead of the victims. They do not seem to notice that where abuses are alleged against US forces they are investigated and dealt with, whereas the enemy boast of their atrocities and show videos on the web. I have lost all respect for these people without perspective.
