Et Tu, Brute?



I was enjoying reading this unique site "Strengthening and celebrating American patriotism" when I found some important news about bush-style-human-rights.

Former Senator Rudy Boschwitz, head of the U.S. delegation to the U.N. Commission on Human Rights (UNCHR), expressed the Bush administration’s concern with human rights abuse throughout the world in a March 24 statement to that body’s 61st session.

Isn't that so nice of "them"?
Someone should tell Boschwitz that I really support his concerns.

But wait, it even becomes better...

Boschwitz said that reinforcing positive developments in human rights is integral to the committee and added, “though some of you would prefer to dispense with Item 9, it is not sufficient for this body to condemn the abuses but shy away from naming the abusers.”

well, it seems that someone named the abusers!
:*)

The United States has committed "grave violations of human rights" against prisoners in Guantanamo Bay, Afghanistan and Iraq, the Foreign Affairs Committee of Britain's parliament said in a report on Friday.

Yes! Britain!

"We conclude that United States personnel appear to have committed grave violations of human rights of persons held in detention in various facilities in Iraq, Guantanamo Bay and Afghanistan," the committee wrote in its influential annual report on human rights.

Although the UK "lawmakers" forgot about their army's violations of human rights in Iraq and the rest of the world, we should show them some support.

*applause*

When the neo-cons are kicked out of office some day, the US citizens will have to work really hard to fix their country's international image.
