And the appropriate response is?

LONDON (Reuters) - Four years after the Sept. 11 attacks on New York and Washington, human rights are in retreat worldwide and the United States bears most responsibility, Amnesty International said on Wednesday, calling Guantanamo prison "the gulag of our times."

Folks, this used to be our President:



He won the fricking Nobel Peace Prize in 2002, and he not only knew what human rights are, he knew his responsibility as PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA was to fight for human rights around the world. Oh, and he also knows how to spell human rights. (Sorry for the cheap shot, Dubya, but Blue Gal is just a little PISSED OFF at you at the moment. She dug out her copy of Checkpoint she's so pissed off.) And lissen up, you red state lurking iceholes, Blue Gal has not forgotten the Iranian Embassy Hostage Crisis of the 1970's neither has she forgotten that none of those hostages were threatened with electrocution or shackled to a ceiling. Come to think of it, those hostages were Americans, and they were not blown up by a roadside I.E.D. while looking for non-existent W.M.D.'s either.

Okay, so this is the President we have now:



And Blue Gal's response to the whole thing is like when she was shaking a poopie diaper in the potty and some baby poop fell on her open copy of the Oprah Magazine where it talked about "living your best life." Yeah, she feels exactly like that.
