Beleaguered Human Rights
This Reuters article is bewildering. Here's the first paragraph:
Repair America's human rights record? Since when does our human rights record need repairing? One unfortunate incident and suddenly we have a poor human rights record? Give me a break.
Plus, if you read the whole article, you'll note that President Bush doesn't even once say anything even resembling a vow to repair America's human rights record. Here's a link to a transcript of the President's remarks. Read them for yourself. You'll note that the President is proud of our troops in Iraq and says that they're caring, compassionate and hard-working people.
Aside from the revealing of a few bad apples recently, I'd say that I have to agree with the President. Don't you?
President Bush vowed on Friday to repair America's beleaguered human rights record, while his defense secretary refused to resign over the Iraqi prisoner abuse scandal during a tense Capitol Hill hearing.
