Anti-Terror Campaign Cloaking Human Rights Abuse

Just thought I would take the time to refresh everyone on the reoccurring story of the fight against terrorism taking human rights hostage.

Anti-Terror Campaign Cloaking Human Rights Abuse (Human Rights Watch Press release, January 16, 2002)

"Terrorists believe that anything goes in the name of their cause. The fight against terror must not buy into that logic. Human rights principles must not be compromised in the name of any cause."

Resorting to the same tactics as terrorists, and sacrificing human rights is not the way to address terrorism.

Its really worth the time and effort to get updated on what is going on. Human Rigths Watch has built a good website with information.
