Torture Still Widespread In Asia Says Amnesty. On Drudge. Do you think human rights violations of this sort mandate sanctions? I tend to not be a big fan of the U.S.'s ineffective Iraqi or Cuban sanctions but... This is very, very brutal. What do you think the proper U.S./European response should be?
sweden the head of the EC have some cleaning to do themselvs first, which does not mean we should close out eyes to the rest of the world though.

Of course, the entire philosophy of Amnesty International is that you're directed to pressure a country other than your own. When they focus their PR on specific cases, they are often extremely effective.
