Oh no! Not Amnesty International! And they always have such big fans out our Foreign Policy!
Oh no! And argument about torture practice I have no response to! I guess I'll commit a logical fallacy!

Next they should condemn S@L for his violation of the English language. posted by strangeleftydoublethink at 2:25 PM on October 27, 2004
S-a-L, are you suggesting that the current administration is *protecting* Americans' right to vote? Is that why the RNC has hired so many poll workers to challenge people who come into vote, that 58,000 absentee ballots are now mysteriously missing in FL, that still Gov Bush tries to disenfranchise Fl african americans? and etc. posted by Red58 at 2:26 PM on October 27, 2004

I'm not sure you know what you're talking about here, Steve. Amnesty International doesn't critique foreign policy. It critiques judicial systems and prisoners' rights in countries ranging from Saudi Arabia to Iceland. They have a basic standard: no imprisonment without trial, no torture, and no death penalty.
I know that the death penalty is contentious for some Americans-- but the ban on torture and imprisonment without trial both sound reasonable to me. posted by gesamtkunstwerk at 3:16 PM on October 27, 2004
