From Stop The ACLU:
I have illustrated before how the ACLU undermines America’s sovereignty and Constitution when it tries to trump our national security with international law. However, I think that must be their goal.
Today the American Civil Liberties Union delivered a petition with more than 51,000 signatures calling for the enforcement of the universal prohibition against torture to the U.S. State Department delegation at the meeting of the U.N. Committee Against Torture in Geneva. The ACLU has been monitoring the committee proceedings and providing information about U.S. sponsored policies and practices of torture and abuse at home and abroad. The U.S. delegation denied on Friday that incidents of detainee abuse are systemic.
“Instead of denying the systemic abuse of detainees confirmed by its own documents, the U.S. government must own up to the truth and take full responsibility,” said Amrit Singh, an attorney with the ACLU Immigrants’ Rights Project who is currently observing the committee’s examination of the U.S. report in Geneva. “We hope that the Committee Against Torture will hold the government accountable for the torture and abuse of detainees both within the United States and abroad.”
If anyone should be held accountable for crimes against humanity it should be the U.N. Gateway Pundit, illustrates this very well, here, and what a joke it is to be held accountable to them here.
For all the ACLU’s rhetoric about denial, they have absolutely no substantial evidence of any kind of systematic abuse. Still, the U.S. tried to appease them, banning the practice of water-boarding. This practice is not torture, and banning it is not admitting that we practiced it. However, to the ACLU this only brought more questions.
“That they’ve specifically dealt with it - even while saying that doesn’t mean it was happening previously - raises questions,” said Jamil Dakwar, a field attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union who has been monitoring the U.N. committee’s hearing into U.S. adherence to the U.N.’s Convention on Torture.
To the point, the U.N. has no room to judge when it comes to human rights. The U.N. is a joke when it comes to this. As Rightwinged points out, they are raping 8 year old girls in a food for sex scandal in Liberia!
For heaven’s sake, Cuba is now a member of the UN Human Rights Council!
Jim Hoft has been all over this.
Religious persecutors, Womens Rights violators, Communist Regimes, and illegal organ harvesters will make up the new UN Human Rights Council.
Michelle Malkin has a great roundup of reactions to this. Expose The Left has video of Eric Shawn talking about his new book…The U.N. Exposed. Rightwing Nuthouse calls it a comedy of errors. But it really isn’t funny after you think about it. Even the NY Times notices the irony. Wizbang takes a look at how Castro’s media spins the news.
And this is the organization that the ACLU want to hold the U.S. accountable to? The ACLU, and the U.N. are two of the most dangerous organizations in the world. They are both seeking to destroy America’s credibility and soverignty. The U.N. are a corrupt joke when it comes to human rights, and they have absolutely zero credibility to make any judgements on America in that area.
On October 27, 1787, Alexander Hamilton predicted that a “dangerous ambition” would one day tyrannize the gangling young American Republic, all the while lurking “behind the specious mask of zeal for the rights of the people.” It could almost be said that Hamilton had a prophecy of the ACLU.
