Human Rights Watch Catches CIA Doing Its Job In Ethiopia

Why Human Rights Watch (and the left in general) think that Americans should be unhappy that the CIA is catching, detaining and interrogating for intelligence members of international terrorist groups is beyond me.

Meanwhile, while the bleeding hearts at Human Rights Watch are crying tears for the terrorists currently being held by the CIA in Etiopia nd the UN Human Rights Council continues to review all the nasty things Israel does at every single meeting, another thousand or so innocent civilians were wiped out in the on-going genocide in Sudan.

But big whoop, right?  These folks have their sights on the real problem in the world.  Which is we nasty Americans, naturally.

How dare the CIA do its job. I feel safer that our CIA is doing such a good job. That is what we pay them for. Human Rights Watch can pound sand up their ass.

The UN, as a governing body, is illegal, and as a force for good in the world, ineffective and subsequently, irrelevant.  It does bother me when conservatives, hell, anybody for that matter, look to the UN to do something about problems it cannot and will not solve, or inequities it has no authority to rectify.

Ya, the UN just likes to play one when condemning the US and Israel.

Rob,
your post is so ignorant about the reality of what happened, and demonstrates a disregard for American values of justice - innocense until proven guilty, etc.  - as well as basic rights all people are entitled too, like medical contact to the Red Cross, and freedom from being otrtured.

These people being detained, if you bother to read any articles before you spout an uninformed opinion, are not terrorists they’re refugees fleeing a war crisis. They’ve been swept up and secretly detained. If they were actuallly terrorists, there would be no reason to detain them secretly - even our own Defense Dept director Gates has been arguing to close Gitmo & restore the rule of law by trying suspecrts in American courts or releasing them. Condi argued this to. You’ve got to educate yourself before you go around poisoning other people’s understanding of issues that aren’t that hard to find good info on.

For starters you might try reading the original HRW report you criticize unduly:

You’re really expecting me to believe that the terrorists the CIA is detaining are just war refugees?

If that’s the case, why is the CIA detaining them at all?  Just because they’re cruel?  For shits and giggles?

C’mon brian.  Try to think about this stuff.

Oh, and I love how you skirt the fact that HRW is all about letting America have it for detaining terrorists...but you never hear a peep from them about Darfur.  Or women beating for not wearing their headscarves in the middle east (good thing Gramma Nancy had hers on!).

Brian are you suggesting we not question anyone until they blow up something or run a plane into a building? I personally don’t really look at Human Rights watch as anything other than a left wing fringe group.

Actually if you read the hrw.org web page these looney people on the would want you to believe these people that have aledgely been tourtured and roughed up are just poor people caught in the cross fire. That they are the vicims.
