China: U.S. violated Iraqis' rights
China on Thursday blasted the United States for trampling on Iraq's sovereignty, using its campaign against terrorism as an excuse to carry out torture and violate the rights of its citizens.

The charges came in the Human Rights Record of the United States in 2006, China's response to U.S. criticism of its human rights record issued by the Department of State on Tuesday.

"As in previous years, the State Department pointed the finger at human rights conditions in more than 190 countries and regions, including China, but avoided touching on the human rights situation in the United States," the report said.

(snip)
The report, the eighth year China has answered the State Department's annual report on human rights around the world, was released by the State Council, China's cabinet, through the Xinhua News Agency.

It said the United States has used its strong military power to trespass on the sovereignty of other countries and violate human rights.

1. I remember when the Reds used to have to make up shit about us.
Now, thanks to w, they can talk shit about us and be 100% truthful at the same time.

Thanks, Fat Tony. He couldn't have done it without you.

5. They never had to make shit up.
Vietnam, Korea, the Dominican Republic, Indonesia, Chile, Cambodia: the globe is dripping with the blood of those slaughtered by the US over the past decades. Nothing new here, just a more honest face than, say, LBJ.

3. CHINA is lecturing the USA about rights record?
how the mighty have fallen.
Mr. Pott, meet Mr. Kettle.

the idea that nations with vile human rights records feel empowered to scold us tells you something. That's pretty sad....

4. The old mantra was "China will never be able to feed their people."
Now, how much US debt do they hold?
