Amnesty condemns U.S. over torture

[DuctapeFatwa]

The United States has failed to guard against torture and inhuman behaviour since launching its "war on terror" after September 11, 2001, Amnesty International has said in a report just days before the U.S. election.

The rights group called on President George W. Bush and his Democratic challenger John Kerry to promise to take prompt action to address the issue head on if elected on November 2.

It condemned Bush's response to the 2001 attacks on U.S. cities, saying it had resulted in an "iconography of torture, cruelty and degradation".

Amnesty's report accused Washington of stepping onto a "well-trodden path of violating basic rights in the name of national security or 'military necessity'."

1. Actually its worse

Not only has the US failed to guard against torture and inhuman behavior, it has sought to develop and implement arguments that facilitate it.

In any case, I beg of you, Lord, Damn George Bush for his behavior.
