HUMAN RIGHTS AND CONDOLEEZZA RICE : WHO SAID IT!
US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice during her Russian visit showed concern about Russia’s situation, especially over human rights issues, and was worried about too much power concentrated within the Kremlin. Before we get to the Kremlin, I would like to say something to Ms. Rice: Lady, do you think about what you say or do words just drop uncontrollable out of your mouth?02:50 Publié dans ENGLISH EDITION, RUSSIE, THANOS KALAMIDAS, USA | Lien permanent | Commentaires (0) | Envoyer cette note | Tags : usa, russia, torture, human rights, thanos kalamidas, europeus.org

HUMAN RIGHTS: FORMER PRESIDENT CARTER SAYS "I KNOW THE BUSH ADMIN TORTURES"
(By Alexander Mooney / Source: Political ticker) Former President Jimmy Carter said Wednesday he is convinced the United States engages in torture that clearly breaches international law and told CNN President Bush creates his own definition of human rights to escape violating them. "I don't think it. I know it, certainly." the former president told CNN's Wolf Blitzer when asked if he thinks the United States commits torture. "Our country for the first time in my lifetime has abandoned the basic principle of human rights," Carter continued. "We've said that the Geneva Convention does not apply to those people in Abu Ghraib prison and Guantanamo, and we’ve said we can torture prisoners and deprive them of an accusation of a crime to which they are accused."
