This is about the UK being a bad country. Stick to the topic and discuss that, or open another one where you say how bad the US has been (and we all know it's bound to be a good, long discussion, with plenty to say).

Moreover, why is everyone dismissing these reports? Has Amnesty International been biased before?
People are criticising the US because they believe it to have been the perpertrator of far more (apparent) human rights abuses than the UK, and yet the article put forward the prospect that the UK is the greatest abuser of human rights in the world.

You also seem to have missed the point of my post. You asked why we were unhappy with this post of Texans. I answered this. You didnt ask how credible the article was or why texan posted the article. So don't 'so?' me, Flavius!
