Amnesty International: not just morally bankrupt
The increasingly shrill and mendacious Amnesty International moves into the realm of moral evil.
Amnesty International branded the U.S. prison camp at Guantanamo Bay a human rights failure Wednesday, calling it "the gulag of our time" as it released a report that offers stinging criticism of the United States and its detention centers around the world.I'm aghast, even if I'm not surprised. Organizations such as AI, ICRC and "A"CLU have moved themselves squarely into the Leftist cult camp and for them the United States and Israel must be defeated.
Why do I label the gulag charge, "evil"? Let me start by asking if someone tells you today, "I was raped", how do you react? Does the word horrify you or is your first reaction to wonder and ask, "What do you mean?"
At one point, we knew what "rape" was and were properly horrified by the penultimate act of personal violation the word represented. But after decades of listening to gender-feminists dilute the word, to twist it into a political charge that could mean anything from hearing a dirty joke to morningafter regret, the word has lost its power.
Gulag has a specific definition. More importantly, it was a singular and hideous institution of the Soviet Union. Click through these pictures. Peruse some of the history here.
"Guantanamo has become the gulag of our time," Amnesty Secretary General Irene Khan said.I dare that simpering, sanctimonious, arrogant bitch to face Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn and repeat that.

I guess the part about "of our time" is just there for the heck of it.
