I blogged on this last month, about the Amnesty International annual report that bashed America, but had very little to say about such blatant human rights violators such as Cuba, North Korea, and Saudi Arabia.
AI called Gitmo the new Gulag. Well, they've backed off that claim, according a Chicago Sun-Times today.
From that article:
On "Fox News Sunday," host Chris Wallace asked William Schulz, director of Amnesty International USA, if he stood by the description of the Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, military prison. Schulz responded by saying, "Clearly, this is not an exact or a literal analogy, and the secretary general has acknowledged that."
"In size and in duration, there are not similarities between U.S. detention facilities and the gulag," Schulz said. "People are not being starved in those facilities. They're not being subjected to forced labor."
Last week, Ankle Biting Pundits gave Amnesty International its "coveted" Judge Elihu Smails Award as the week's biggest buffoon.
