Gabe, for you to compare the violence against women in Asia due to "unpaid dowries" with interrogations of battlefield combatants sworn to kill Americans, and who do not fall under the Geneva Conventions, shows how low some anti-Americans who were perhaps denied residency visas, have sunk.
Interrogating battlefield combatants is not a license to anyone to "commit abuse with impunity", which makes Amnesty International's assertions bogus. American's who have been accused of wrongdoing, mostly by their fellow Americans, are all being prosecuted and punished if found guilty. --- Gabe Menezes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 25/05/05, Mario Goveia <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > Violence Against Women Rampant in Asia > > > KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia -- Violence and systematic > > discrimination against women was rampant in Asia > last > > year, ranging from acid attacks for unpaid dowries > in > > Bangladesh to forced abortion in China, rape by > > soldiers in Nepal and domestic beatings in > Australia, > > Amnesty International said. > > RESPONSE: Amnesty had this to say about the USA too! > : > > http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/4580991.stm > > Amnesty accuses US over 'torture' > US soldiers with Iraqi detainees > The US is accused of damaging human rights across > the world > Governments around the world betrayed their > commitment to human rights > in 2004, Amnesty International says. > > In a 300-page annual report, the group accused the > US government of > damaging human rights with its attitude to torture > and treatment of > detainees. > > This granted "a licence to others to commit abuse > with impunity", the > human rights advocates said. > ................................... > >
