Here is the complete AP article.
China (host of the 2008 Olympics, Security Council Member, and Clinton financiers) is being accused of, not just torture, but WIDESPREAD torture. The surprising thing is, it is Manfred Nowak, the U.N. Human Rights Commission's special investigator on torture who is saying this.
Let's look at this in perspective.
Here is a nation, that does not allow dissent. Their Maoist history is still a big influence in today's political climate and Maoism is not exactly the model of democracy and freedom.This is a case of, Chinese torturing Chinese. This didn't just start happening. Yet, they were welcomed with open arms to the Security Council, in spite of this fact.
Europe and the Europhilic leftists in the U.S., are having a collective royal cow about Gitmo, Abu Ghraib, and the possibility that secret camps were housing bad guys (in Europe), bad guys that are seriously intent on hurting the United States of America. There is no WIDESPREAD torture of Americans by Americans. If there was Michael Moore would be in jail and yelling uncle. Yet, we continue to take the heat as if we were the poster child of human rights abuse, while this is (and has been) going on, for a long time.
Europe needs to consider this of their newly found friends on the opposite end of their land mass, before making such a flap about things that happen during the course of a war. If they really want to be the champions of human rights, they need to look at things a little more on the side of fairness and good judgement, instead of their own selfish, self-interests.

If you put human rights abuse on a scale of 0 to 100, I would place the US at around a 2. Where historical Mauoist China has been at a 99 in the past, they have settled down to around a 60 for now. Look for that to spike if they ever attack Taiwan.
Typically the left would jump in here and claim the US is supposed to be the crowning jewel of human rights, so the 2 is worse than the 60 because of that.
As the left has held the media reins for some time now, they continue to succeed in painting a bad picture of the US and a favorable picture of the worse of the worst around the world. In Reagan's time he was the evil one and Gorby was a god.
Now we have GW depicted as the devil himself, while the far left calls the insurgency "freedom fighters". Basically the left has no moral compass, no foundation and no idea what evil truly is. They think the greatest evil is that some are filthy rich while others are poor regardless of how the rich guy acquired his wealth.
Good comment AICS. I couldn't agree more.
