These worms are awfully brave when it comes to tough talk about an administration they know allows them to shout and lie.

Yep. A good tactic would be to have a Whitehouse aide contact these AI types and let them know that the President would like to listen to their concerns, and offer to fly them to visit the President. Their swelled heads would start to hurt a little when they were delivered to President MUGABE in Zimbabwe. I would be fun to watch them try to talk their way out of HIS hospitality.

True. I just can't get over the hypocrisy of them spouting this crap on C-SPAN this morning, putting the US right up there with these despicable regimes. When called on it the head jackass blubbered the old "It's our right to speak out," as if people were saying he shouldn't speak out, when all they were talking about was why he is criticizing the US so much.

Yes, yes, yes, already, you can speak out! That doesn't mean you run crying when someone confronts you about the SUBSTANCE of what you're talking about!

If the US is such a horrible place civil-rights-wise, I can't understand why Amnesty's director (or whatever) wasn't packing up for someplace like Haiti, which he seems to think is so much better. I'm sure if asked that he'd pout about being free to speak his mind but as usual he would be missing the point--can't he notice that he can walk the streets freely, speak him mind on national television, and there are no repurcussions? Does he think he'd get away with that in the less-criminal nations he seems to think are around, like Zimbabwe?
