| #6 Steven Den Beste Human Rights Watch says that Saddam's trial was unfair. HRW wants his death sentence nullified. You know, I'd write about this, but if I did the result would be ten thousand 4-letter words. |

| #4 How do you give someone that EVERYONE KNOWS FOR A FACT is a mass-murderer a fair trial? Especially when it's presided over by it's victims? Come on, there was no way he was going to get a fair trial. And there's now way in hell he deserved so much as a lawyer either. Iraq has gone beyond generious to Saddam in this trial. Would have been better off handing him to the Kurds hours after we captured him. |

| #3 From Wikipedia Human Rights Watch is much smaller than Amnesty International. It is US-based, whereas Amnesty is UK-based. Human Rights Watch's main products are its crisis-directed research and lengthy reports, whereas Amnesty focuses on mass letter-writing campaigns, adopting individuals as "prisoners of conscience" and lobbying for their release. Human Rights Watch will openly lobby for specific actions for other governments to take against human rights offenders, including naming specific individuals for arrest, or for sanctions to be levied against certain countries, recently calling for punitive sanctions against the top leaders in Sudan who have overseen a killing campaign in Darfur. Its documentations of human rights abuses often include extensive analyses of the political and historical backgrounds of the conflicts concerned, some of which have been published in academic journals. AI's reports, on the other hand, tend to contain less analysis, and instead focus on specific abuses of rights. |
