Mr. "F*ckyouonthefloorof theSenate" is 'Offended' ?

Looks to be an 'All Cheney - All the Time' Media Blitz going on today !

Where is this lying clown coming from -
Laura Bush as Resident with Dubya still in charge ?
Iraq Insergency in 'Last Throws' ?
He feels offeended by the Red Cross reports ?

Does anyone except the Extreme Right believe this fool, never in the history of our country
has one man betrayed it's citizenry like he does on a daily basis.

To clarify his 'On the Floor of the Senate' comment

Inexcusable to have this person in a position of power in our government.
He's a bigger traitor than Benedict Arnold
(Strange - the Benedict Arnlod story is written in Saudi Arabia !)

Nope - this addresses his being 'offended' by those who are exposing the treatment of prisoners in Abu Grahib, Gitmo, and Horsefukistan.

Guess he doesn't mind that most of America is offended that he's part and parcel of the deaths of over 1,650 American soldiers and at least 22,000 Iraqi civilians.

He shouldnt feel offended, he should feel joyed Amesty International still thinks we are top dog in the world.

If they didnt they would be yapping at the new top dog.

I didnt hear them much during the multiple genocides that were happening in Africa over the past 15 years.

Funding must be getting low.

It's ridiculous for Amnesty Internation to imply that the US doesn't treat prisoners with respect. Quite the contrary. We ensure that they are kept busy with games like "naked body pile" and "dog leash", and provide them with free photography services so they can send pictures home to their families to let them know they are allright.

Oh wait...

Could be worse, we could have played cut the tongue, genitals, hands, feet, head off.

Naked Body pile while unethical and wrong certainly shouldnt put us right at the forefront of abusers like many people would like us to believe.

Like I mentioned earlier, funding must be low.

Thats whats so strange about the US, it all to often likes to boast about being better than the worst, like its something to be proud of.

Who said anything about being proud? It is called putting it into perspective. People seem to forget that when it comes to their chance to bash the United States.

thats it, the perspective, that somehow as long as the US is not worse than the worst then everything is ok

in all seriousness, dont you think the US should be held at a higher standard than the worst violators?

Did I say it was ok?????

I said a nake pyramid while unethical and wrong it could be worse. That is called putting it into perspective. How many headlines did a liberal rag like the NYTimes run on the genocide in Darfur? How many on the beheadings of people trying to make a living?

Instead we end up with 34 headlines because some idiots decided it would be good idea to make captured Iraqis form a nake pyramid.

Where is the outrage for the other atrocities in the world?

Do I think the US should be held to a "higher" standard? Why should anybody be held to a higher standard? That implies it is ok for somebody else to be held to a lower standard which they shouldnt when it comes to abusing the basics of human rights.

no sorry, you never said it was ok, just that others do worse as in pointing at the other guy and trying to make people take notice of his actions and not your own

Its a fact that certain countries are held to a higher standard than others simply because they are the countries that are preeching about how bad the other ones are.

I wasn't bashing the US, I was bashing Cheney for continuing to take the 'holier than thou' attitude that it must be rediculous to even think the US would commit human rights violations, which clearly it has a long history of doing and continues to do. Is it in the same league as genocide being committed in parts of the world? No. But that doesn't make it right.

And if we, as Cheney suggests, are 'holier than thou', then we SHOULD be held to a higher standard.

I disagree on your higher standard. Everybody should be held to the same standard.

I agree with you, but if you are going to be preeching about it to the world your word must have some meaning.

And because things like these may be going on in other parts of the world, we shouldn't condemn or take notice of these types of things?

If you would like to read Amnesty International reports for the last 12 years, then go here:

http://www.amnesty.org/ailib/aireport/index.html

Your assertion that because you did not hear of the human rights abuses in Africa so therefore Amnesty Internation did not report them is quite erroneous. It would be more proper to blame this lack of dissemination of information on western media outlets and governments ignoring these cries for help. And implying that AI is issueing reports in an effort to smear or blacken the image of the United States is foolish. The point of AI reports is to report ALL HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES, regardless of the SEVERITY of these abuses and without bias to the country of origin.

Yet even if we come up with something notably worse, it doents make us any more acceptable to do the former, and all our good deeds and intentions don't negate our wrongs. Unfortunatly, Cheney is in outright denial over the fact that America is a violator of human rights, and our adminstation must come to terms with this fact before there can be any resolution of this problem.
