Amnesty International recently completed its spiral into irrelevance when it called Guantanamo Bay "the gulag of our times". Rusty Shackleford has a powerful and disturbing article on the true nature of the gulags:
Ten percent of the entire population of the Soviet Union lived in the camps.The Red Cross at least had the decency to deny that one of its representatives accused U.S. authorities of being "no better than and no different than the Nazi concentration camp guards" - which suggests that they realise there is a difference.
The Gulag administration was the largest single employer in all of Europe.
The average life expectancy of a camp prisoner was one winter.
At least twenty million people perished in the labor camps during Stalin’s rule.
Will Amnesty International show similar decency? It seems unlikely.

Maybe Amnesty International reps should spend some quality time with the terrorists, alone and unsupervised, and then spend a couple years in a real gulag. Maybe after a few of them have their heads sawed off and freeze/starve to death over winter they'll have a better appreciation for the moral distinctions here.

Turns out Amnesty is run by a guy who donated to Kerry and Ted Kennedy.
Shocking.
