Tin pot dictators
From World Press Review, we get the article UN criticises vague ‘terror’ laws #
“The UN Commission on Human Rights has expressed grave concerns about rights abuses by several countries in their quest to deal with perceived security threats.” #
The report specifically mentions the US and the 560 detainees still held in Guantanamo after the post-9/11 crackdown. In response, ”[US Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld] said their cases would be reviewed on an annual basis and that those deemed no longer a threat would be released.” #
On an annual basis Is it just me, or didn’t we used to be on the side of justice for all? #
