My point is that some of these International Watch-dog groups could give a fig about Prison Rape or Human Rights, or Starving Children. It's not what they care about.
Mugabe is starving and killing people in Zimbabwe? I haven't heard Amnesty International say a whole lot about it -- because he is a Marxist, and because he is not a friend of the US. Therefore, he gets a pass and his crimes are not worth a lot of attention from the Do-Gooders.
Israel? Well, let's see: They are a friend of the US. That's bad. And, uh, they are on the Left, but they are not really Marxists. That's bad too. Let's get 'em!!!! Presto -- Non-stop coverage of all the terrible Israeli crimes against the poor defenseless Palestinians.
The Do-Gooders don't really care about Prison Rape. Their goal is to make the US and our friends look bad.
I'm sorry about prison rape. But I will always call the Do-Gooders on their anti-US agenda.
During May-July 2005, an estimated 700,000 people lost their homes, their livelihoods, or both when the Zimbabwe government forcibly evicted them and demolished their homes and businesses as part of Operation Murambatsvina (Drive Out Rubbish).
The forced evictions and demolitions were carried out without adequate notice, due process, legal protection, redress or appropriate relocation measures. In some instances court orders were disregarded. In addition, police used excessive force: property was destroyed and people were beaten.
The vast majority of the victims have received no help from the government. They have been left to find their own alternative shelter in the middle of winter. Many are now living in overcrowded and often squalid conditions and thousands of the victims are still living in the open under makeshift shelters.

Amnesty International's description of Zimbabwe.
I hear what you're saying about the disproportionate response of organizations like Amnesty International; in fact, I've made that point myself on other threads.
I do think that men who forcibly sodomize other men in the US prison system should be shot. You wouldn't have to shoot more'n one or two, I suspect. The rest would get the message.
