Remember the good old days, when the United States was the greatest proponent of human rights around a world, and a thorn in the side of many a dictator? Those days are gone.
Representatives from 57 countries on Tuesday signed a long-negotiated treaty prohibiting governments from holding people in secret detention. The United States declined to endorse the document, saying its text did not meet U.S. expectations.
So now the United States is aligned with the Pinochets and Pol Pots and the Stalins.
Boy, I can’t wait until George W. Bush is out of office.
