American Hypocrisy over Human Rights

Just days after the UN's resident genius Allan Rock rebuked the GOSL for assisting Karuna in recruiting child soldiers, I see this on IHT:

The article talks about the conditions suffered by detainess in the U.S. These people have not been charged and have not been tried. The public has no idea about the nature of their alleged crimes, the circumstances of their arrest and until now, the conditions of their incarceration.

I want you to read the entire article, so I am not going to talk about it all. After reading the article, please remember that the EU has also admitted to such prisions, then reflect on whether the Western World can really afford to talk down to even North Korea about human rights. Let alone Sri Lanka.

"Hypocrisy" does not even begin to express the situation.
