The Gulag of Our Times?

Amnesty International has lost any remaining credibility by trying to compare the US prison at Guantanamo Bay to the Soviet Gulag. They remind me of teachers in grammar school who would be afraid to reprimand the prominent school bullies at recess, but would rather would criticise normal children for playing in the snow.

It is also reminiscent of former US Senator & ambassador to the UN Daniel Patrick Moynihan's "Law" regarding the UN & human rights, which stated the number of complaints about a nation's violation of human rights is inversely proportional to their actual violation of human rights.

LONDON - Amnesty International branded the U.S. prison camp at Guantanamo Bay a human rights failure Wednesday, calling it "the gulag of our time" as it released a report that offers stinging criticism of the United States and its detention centers around the world.
The 308-page report accused the United States of shirking its responsibility to set the bar for human rights protections and said Washington has instead created a new lexicon for abuse and torture.
In the harshest rebuke yet of U.S. detention policies, Amnesty International called for the camp to be closed.... "Guantanamo has become the gulag of our time," Amnesty Secretary General Irene Khan said.
