Human Rights And The U.S.

June 6, 2001 | ISSUE 37•21

Recently ousted from the U.N. Human Rights Commission, the U.S. is no longer the world's human-rights leader, according to Amnesty International. What do you think?

  • Doesn't Amnesty International realize we have covert black-op specialists who shoot people for saying that kind of stuff?

    Allen Andrews

  • I guess our nation's leaders have given up trying to impress sexy, politically active college chicks.

  • I'd like to applaud the forward-thinking nations of Angola, Sudan, and Syria for helping vote the U.S. off the U.N. commission. Truly, your countries are examples to us all.

    Duane McHenry
    Doctor

  • I support whatever Amnesty International has to say. I have to: They sent me those free return-address labels.

    Paulette Wilson
    Librarian

  • Fine, I'll let the guy out of my basement. Will that fix this up?

    Stan Tocchet

  • America makes the best movies, the best TV shows, and the best snack foods. We can't do everything.
