American was once a proud beacon of human rights that the rest of the world looked up to, even strive to be, but those days are long over. found in the Friday news dump was a report by the United Nations that the United States of America has broken international human rights laws. This is what America has become under Bush, a nation that can now hold its head up prowd with the likes of North Korea, Cuba, Vietnam, China, and even little Uzbekistan. I remember the day when the United States could chastise other countries for the slightest human rights violation because our hands were clean, because our laws went out of their way to protect the rights of individuals, I guess human rights is so pre-September 11 thinking. According to the UN report the United States has broken the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights treaty, a treaty signed by the United States.
the UN cited the United States’ use of “enhanced interrogation techniques” is nothing more than a form of torture and inhumane treatment, a direct violation of international law (if you’ll recall in last week’s Republican debate every one of the candidates seemed eager to share with the sick right wing how eager they wear to break international law). The UN went on to say that President Bush’s classification of people as “unlawful enemy combatants” is nothing more than a “description of convenience” and is not defined at any point under international law. This is where we are in Bush’s America, and it sickens me that we have come this far, and we are going to let a group of evil son of a bitches flush everything this country is worked so hard for down the toilet.
