Robert at Publius Pundit writes, "Before anything, read Austin Bay's fabulous piece fisking Amnesty International on their bizarre claim that Gitmo and Abu Ghraib are modern day gulags, and that the U.S. is the leader in human rights abuses in the world."

At least so says the anti-American, fascist-supporting, terrorist-coddling, left-wing, liberal bastion called Amnesty International.

Robert received an email with a good idea: Go to Google News and search for stories about "human rights abuses xxx" where xxx is the name of a country. Here are the results of his search:

United States: 2,740
Iran: 374
China: 824
Sudan: 400
Zimbabwe: 265
Belarus: 39
Russia: 483
Burma: 68
Saudi Arabia: 142
Nepal: 232
Syria: 90
Cuba: 1,330 -- because that's where Guantanamo is.

As pointed out at Publius Pundit, while the press covered 2,740 stories on American "human rights abuses," it only covered with 2,917 stories combined those of some of the most degenerate regimes on the planet. Where, exactly, do the priorities of Amnesty International and the mainstream press lie? For more, let's not forget the similar Human Rights Watch report from earlier in the year. But let's remember, as a reader at PP pointed out, it's a little hard to report on abuses in some countries when YOU CAN'T GET IN THEM TO INVESTIGATE! AI managed to leave that out of their report.
