Thread Name: BS: American Soldiers Torturing Iraqis
Subject: RE: BS: American Soldiers Torturing Iraqis
A few months ago, the UK/US invasion force was "the armed wing of Amnesty International". Now when it turns out that their methods (some of their methods of course) are counter to everything Amnesty International stands for, pointing this out is "politically expedient", and we have to present our human rights bona fides to be able to open our mouths?!?! Utter crap. Utter, utter crap. You have been betrayed by those you defended. I do not for a minute question your intelligence or commitment to human rights, but I am sorry that you have been so badly used, and understand how you find it hard to face that sad fact.
