| Description | The new Amnesty International human rights report lists the United States as a top offender.
The annual report issued Wednesday says the U.S. military's Guantanamo Bay prison in Cuba for suspected militants has become "the gulag of our time."
The human rights group acknowledges the provocation of such terrorist acts as hostage beheadings in Iraq, but says instead of setting a high standard for the world to follow, the United States has diluted what's supposed to be an absolute ban on torture. It says the United States has developed such euphemisms as "environmental manipulation, stress positions and sensory manipulation." |
