Who are the worst human rights violators

NY Post Editorial:

If nothing else, President Obama's decision to overrule his own intelligence officials and release Bush-era legal memos justifying what The New York Times sanctimoniously described as the CIA's "brutal" interrogation techniques proves what a bunch of pushovers we Americans are.

Al Qaeda kidnaps Americans, tortures them, then decapitates them on TV.

We deprive captives of sleep, push them into walls and put harmless caterpillars that we say are poisonous in their cells.

Then we're the ones who are condemned as the worst human-rights violators on the planet.

...

I think they should have ended the last paragraph with a question mark. The double standard is striking and all the left can say is that we should not measure our conduct by the enemies. But does that mean that the enemy conduct gets a pass? This is not a frivolous question. When it comes to the war in the media battle space it has become a one sided US bashing and taht gives the enemy an advantage he doe snot deserve. As I often say, the media's job is to put facts in perspective and they are not doing a good job on this issue.
