Amnesty International Destroys Itself

Count the once-respectable organization Amnesty International as another globalist supporter of John Kerry. The outfit recently obliterated any iota of credibility that might still have clung to it by comparing President Bush unfavorably to Osama bin Laden and genocidal maniac Pol Pot.

Amnesty's secretary general, Irene Khan, claimed that she wasn't condoning al-Qaida but that America's war on terrorism was the most sustained erosion of human rights in 50 years.

"As a strategy, the war on terror is bankrupt of vision and bereft of principle," Khan fretted. "Sacrificing human rights in the name of national security, turning a blind eye to abuse abroad and using pre-emptive military force where and when the powerful choose to act has damaged justice and freedom, and made the world a more dangerous and divided place."

Amnesty's annual report also criticized such nations as Britain, Spain and even France for passing anti-terrorism laws that the group deems "regressive."

Khan moaned: "There were terrible abuses in the past - Rwanda, Cambodia, in the Balkans.... But what we are now seeing is a pervasive culture of abuse that has spread like a cancerous growth, and that is what is so dangerous today."

Too bad Khan is so ignorant about the communists' murder of millions of Cambodians. If she's too lazy to read about Pol Pot, she should watch the video of "The Killing Fields," Hollywood's only notable anti-communist movie.

White House spokesman Scott McClellan put Khan in her place by noting: "The war on terrorism has protected the human rights of some 25 million people in Afghanistan and some 25 million people in Iraq. The war on terror has led to the liberation of some 50 million people in those countries, and the United States is a leader when it comes to protecting human rights, and we will continue to be."

Did me loads of good to read that, thanks!
