One of the blogosphere's sillier cacomemes is that Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International and other human rights NGOs focus exclusively or preponderantly on the US and its allies. I thought it would be worthwhile to run a little comparison on which countries do get critiqued.
Rather than start an argument about which nations are or are not US allies, just read the list and decide for yourself.
