Gee, What a Surprise! (Guess who's Amnesty International's secretary general)

A Muslim woman is Secretary General of Amnesty International and she introduced the instantaneously notorious report on human rights so biased against the US (calling Guantanamo Bay our American "Gulag") that no less than the Washington Post took exception to its contents and bias in an editorial.

Her name is Irene Khan and her bio can be found here. Do you think she might be a little biased?

is your nickname taint???

Show me ANY notice she (or AI) has taken of the HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS killed brutally BY Muslims (Hussein primarily!) ....

She (AI) is deliberately ignoring ANY intolerance and murders BY Muslims (in Yugoslavia, Albania, Russia, Afghanistan, India, or elsewhere in the world to condemn Bush and his ability to FREE millions of enslaved Muslims.

And slavery, by the way, was still practiced in Saudi Arabia up until the early 60's. Still IS practiced by Muslims elsewhere in Africa.

But SHE ignores that too.

I wish I knew whether so many organizations like this were founded with the purpose of leftie, anti-American bias or whether they just start out with good intentions and then slowly are infiltrated by leftist whackjobs. Quite the conundrum.

When the next Holocaust starts to unfold, you can bet your boots that AI will not utter a single word in protest.

Hi newbie.

I love the smell of ZZZZZOTTTT in the morning!

"Do you see any truth to her findings at all"

no.

If you listen to Amnesty they are sick.

I heard the head of Amnesty on C-Span talk about Sudan calmly. Next he got hyperbolic and red in the face about US abuses.

It is a disease.

Did you wander in here by mistake?

Here's another one from the similarly situated, ie Muslim infested, International Red Cross:

"The first concerns a story we heard first from a U.S. source that an ICRC representative visiting America's largest detention facility in Iraq last month had compared the U.S. to Nazi Germany. According to a Defense Department source citing internal Pentagon documents, the ICRC team leader told U.S. authorities at Camp Bucca: "You people are no better than and no different than the Nazi concentration camp guards."
