Nov. 10, 2010 - When it comes to human rights, the United States needs to practice what it preaches.

The United States is a member of the U.N. Human Rights Council, which is reviewing the human rights records of all 192 U.N. member nations, including ours.
On Aug. 20, the U.S. government submitted a report to the council, outlining its human rights record. "We are committed to holding everyone to the same standard, including ourselves," said Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Not true, says the U.S. Human Rights Network, a coalition of 300 prominent organizations such as Amnesty International, the American Civil Liberties Union, the Center for Constitutional Rights and the NAACP. {read rest}
