#1 Guilt by osmosis. That sure beats guilt by cultural and economic oppression, and global rights abuses such as not joining the ICC, Kyoto, and the Land Mines Convention. They probably lump it with the US causing starvation in Nork, the US not intervening in the Sudan, and cutting off Mugabe from his international bank accounts. And oil-for-food. That's the USs fault, too.

#2 Don't forget the rising costs of artichokes and the shrinking sizes of candy bars...

#3 At one time AI did great work defending persecuted individuals. Since then it has become thoroughly corrupted and subverted, and looks more and more like those nutbag Troskyist organizations that rail against the supposed evils of capitalism. I'm hoping an insider spills the beans on this becuase it looks like a classic Soviet era takeover of a 'progressive' organization, except this time by Muslims.

I reccommend an immediate education program to upgrade US forces to world standards. Classes will begin to instruct forces how to loot and burn cities and villages, execute men and boys, rape women and livestock, and bribe human rights whores with oil certificates. We'll know we have truly arrived to world standards when our body count matches the 3 million of Bangladesh, the home of Amnesty International's Secretary General Irene Zubaida Khan. Fire up those shredders.

#5 ed - Damn that's a tall order, bro! I mean, sheesh, vicious genocide, soulless corruption, and raping livestock - whew! Must take generations to achieve any level of expertise... To pull it off with nonchalance and a droll dry wit, that takes a certain panache and style - we're so cowboyish. I dunno, man. Okay, we do have some arsonist types, but the rest - wow. Can the UN lend us some Blue Hats to instruct and lead us? I'm just guessing, but would Belgians be best?

#8 Lol, Spo'D, Do trolls rate a spot? Or are they not worth the trouble, heh. Dhimmidonk Leadership, RINOs, and Moonbat Orgs in there? Lol! I'm thinking you've started the makings of a fun thread, heh. ;-)

#9 Most Moonbats can be counted on to swing first. Self defence is legal. I don't travel in circles that would bring me into contact with RINOS or Dhimmicrat leaderships types. Trolls are fun to play with but I know I should save bandwidth that doesn't belong to me.

#10 "Don't forget me! I wanna be beat up too, SPoD!" Methinks vicious dictators are high on your list too, eh?

#11 Another example of O'Sullivan's law:

Any organization not explicitly right-wing will become left-wing over time.

#12 Look! The Boys are world famous now!

In Bangladesh, Amnesty said at least 147 people died in 2004 in what the government protrayed as crossfire deaths between suspected criminals and the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB).

#13 AI is just one little star in the constellatioon of nauseating mixes of whacky good-doers and charity scam artists. AI in particular works hard to rake in the cash donations from all quarters. AI also takes on alot of folks with political agendas that are directly contradictory with AI's stated purpose ie Irish, Palestinian and Kashmiri nationalist who see violence and terrorism as perfectly OK so long as it in for their cause. Screw AI and all the phuking tools sporting their bumper sticker activism.

#14 At one stage AI refused to support anyone that preach any sort of voilence.

#19 Amnesty has become a sick joke; much like the Democratic Party.

#20 Took the words right off my keyboard SM! The most recent AI annual "report" is pretty incredible in what it doesn't mention and what it glosses over. Makes one wonder.

#21 That picture breaks my heart too.

It also pisses me off that it would be used to generate donations to organizations who would then turn around and waste it on conferences / luncheons / exotic trip unstead of going to people like the poor child in the pic:
