July 11, 2011 - The Human Rights Watch (HRW) yesterday pointed out the absurdity in the US taking up accountability issues in Sudan, Libya and Sri Lanka, while shielding senior US officials responsible for war crimes.
"The US is right to call for justice when serious international crimes are committed in places like Darfur, Libya, and Sri Lanka, but there should be no double standards," HRW said. "When the US government shields its own officials from investigation and prosecution, it makes it easier for others to dismiss global efforts to bring violators of serious crimes to justice," HRW’s Kenneth Roth, executive director said in a statement posted on its website (HRW.org) yesterday.
Senior Sri Lankan government officials told The Island that those gunning for Sri Lanka on the human rights front should make their position public on HRW’s accusation directed at the Obama administration. The US recently warned Sri Lanka of dire consequences unless the government investigated war crime allegations.
The HRW statement captioned ’Investigate Bush, other top official for torture’ with a strap-line ‘Inquiry into two deaths in CIA custody insufficient’ was released in Washington DC. read more>>>
We know the costs in blood, never to totally in civilians, but what of the costs in treasury still not paid! How much to buy the coalition of the willing, how much to buy the CIA rendition and secret prisons globalizing torture, how much for the decades to come as to the results of both wars, more. Neither has been paid for, rubber stamping and rapid deficit rises started Before 9/11 and nothing as to the peoples responsibility, the VA, as to just one of the needs in those results from!
