The conscience stifled by Amnesty - Times Online

Another organization that long ago lost its way. Or, whould I say was hijacked by radicals?

The Human-Rights Facade Is Beginning to Crumble

For people who do not follow these issues closely, there have been a few recent moments that indicate beyond any doubt that something is rotten in the “human-rights community.” One moment was when HRW went to Saudi Arabia to raise money. We have arrived at another such moment: a human-rights organization has suspended an employee for complaining about the organization’s partnership with a terrorist.

A familiar sight that stirs pupils' sense of justice

Why is Amnesty International being allowed to spread its propaganda in our schools?

"After a project which involved donning the orange jumpsuits that evoke images of Guantanamo Bay, pupils from Bannockburn Academy were selected to join Amnesty International’s youth advisory group"

So, they dressed the kids up as terrorists!

"The idea was that of the school’s Amnesty International group"

Why are our tax monies going to support this NGO?

Amnesty has been tamed by Libya

I'd say it's more a working relationship.

Amnesty International attacks Obama

More buyers remorse. Counting the days till someone calls him Hitler.

Amnesty International's anti Americanism

is in full view here.

This blogger for AI believes everything Gharani says and repeats his claims of torture without any evidence what soever. Further, they leave out some important information, such as the other sides version.

"A spokesman for the camp, Lt Cmdr Brook DeWalt, told the Miami Herald newspaper there was “no evidence to substantiate these claims and all credible allegations are fully investigated”.

But since it's America AI is talking about, the claims are automatically true. But, on the other hand it's Obama, the left's chosen one, we're talking about so we musn't criticize The One. Hence, AI leave out this bit from Gharani.

"Since then I've been subjected to it almost every day," he said. "Since Obama took charge he has not shown us that anything will change."

So much for Hope and Change then.

Another inmate was recently released to Britain. He too made claims of various forms of serious torture including have his genitals cut. These claims could easily be verivied with a simple medial check; one he refuses to submit to. Now I wonder why?

Amnesty International aids terrorism

This AI report trumpets a UN investigation into the latest Gaza conflict that calls on both sides to cooperate with the UN. But AI has already convicted Israel before the investigation has even begun.

"During the Israeli military campaign 'Cast Lead', between 27 December 2008 and 18 January 2009, Israeli forces killed more than 1,400 Palestinians, including 300 children and hundreds of other unarmed civilians, and injured some 5,000 Palestinians, many of them maimed for life."

AI states those numbers as fact without reference to where they came from - and for good reason. Here's why.

"Palestinian doctors say 879 Palestinians have been killed since the Israeli offensive - to stamp out rocket fire by Gaza militants - began on 27 December.

Norwegian doctors in Gaza's main hospital said about half the casualties they have seen are civilians. Thirteen Israelis - 10 soldiers and three civilians - have died during the offensive. "

No mention of how you can tell a civilian from a terrorists wearing civilian clothes. So just who are these Norwegian doctors? Mads Gilbert, that's who.

"When asked if he supported a terrorist attack against the US he answered: "Terror is a poor weapon, but my answer is yes, within the context I have mentioned."

So, the numbers come from Palestinian doctors and the civilian numbers come from Gilbert, an admitted hater of Israel and America.

Who runs AI anyway?

"AI is most vocal in its attacks on America over Guantanamo bay. AI’s Secretary General, Irene Khan, referred to Guantanamo prison as the “gulag of our times” and has co-authored a book titled “America's Gulag: Full Spectrum Dominance Versus Universal Human Rights”. In addition, AI produces “education packs” made available to schools to promote their agenda. In one such pack, school children are taught how to dress up in orange jump suits similar to those worn by prisoners held at the prison. This despite the fact that many prisoners at the prison openly admit they carried out acts of terrorism and boast they will do so again if released; some have already done so.

As Ms. Khan is a Muslim, her attacks on Israel come as no surprise."
