The hatred of the fringe Left: Amnesty International leadership? Rabid Kerry supporters.

Well, we’ve all heard about it, haven’t we? The alleged horrific conditions the terrorists in custody in Gitmo have to face,

Amnesty International utilized terms such as “gulag” and “concentration camp.”

OK…. Fine. But let’s look a little deeper at those responsible for this report. What do we see?

Does that surprise you? Given the level of hatred the neo-comms show towards the President… the actual mental illness caused by the election loss of their coward-in-chief… does it surprise you that AI would follow along in lockstep with the fringe Left and allow their personal feelings towards the President to influence their findings?

Of course not. And that’s a shame.

Amnesty International has a role in the overall scheme of things. But their credibility suffers… and their value is reduced accordingly… when they allow their hatred to bubble to the surface by making extraordinary claims that will cost American lives in the field.

They are in danger of becoming relegated to the ash heap of history if they allow partisan politics to guide their actions.
