Amnesty International continues to "condemn", as if they were the ones to decide, America's treatment of terrorists, along with a lot of other countries, including Pakistan. Why don't they condemn terrorist's treatment of their hostages? These liberals need to get with the mainstream! Look at the public dialogue, we know that we can't treat terrorists like other people, they don't have the same "human rights". All over the world the standard is to treat terrorists differently from other criminals or enemies, because they're just more dangerous and you can't reason with them. And now congress has approved their own law saying the same. I hope they start using military tribunals for gang members too! Who does Amnesty International think they are? Why do these liberals coddle terrorists?

Firstly, Amnesty International is a human rights organisation. That means basic human rights for all individuals regardless of their actions or alleged actions.There is a due process..that's why we have Laws..Torture by any Government or group is unacceptable..Full Stop.
Secondly, Terrorism is a Counter Reaction. The United States government with it's Foreign Policy has been responsible in the past and present of questionable acts many of them covert but in the public eye; economic and military. Some would even say that the U.S administration is the World's Biggest Terrorist. That Said..in order to even resolve this issue a complete overhaul of the current viewpoint of world affairs by US is Utterly Necesary in order for any kind of peace on this planet!!

Perhaps you should reconsider what is meant by human rights and that our nation pre Bush has always believed that all humans were entitled to them. Civil Liberties and Human Rights are what we have all been dieing for throughout history its not just some new liberal idea we just concocted. It is insane to say we are fighting a war to protect these while taking them away at the same time.

They have a hard time talking human rights with the people who actually violate human rights because well, they don't care about human rights. They feel much safer complaining to countries that won't have them put to death for complaining.

As I understand it, the liberals coddle terrorists because they can perform a very rousing version of Kumbaya.

Amnesty International sees the world through rose colored glasses - this some how makes them see everything as either black or white. Their intentions are noble, but they constantly demonstrate a tremendous lack of common sense and reality. (The foregoing statements immediately brought the ACLU to my mind, but I digress)
A terrorists' "rights" vs. the possible death of thousands of innocent men, women and children.
I don't see a dilemma here, do you?
