North Korea says NSA scandal is proof America is "kingpin" of rights abuse

A commentary in the state newspaper Minju Joson said allegations of monitoring of telephones and emails by former CIA contractor Edward Snowden meant Americans and foreigners alike had been "subject to the espionage that has been applied indiscriminately by the U.S. intelligence institution".

"...This clearly proves once again the U.S. is a kingpin of human rights abuses as it puts the world under its watch network and has conducted espionage against mankind," said the commentary, cited by the official KCNA news agency.

"Each individual is entitled to live and develop with dignity as a social being," it said. "But in American society, where the jungle law prevails, only the strong men's rights over the weak men are recognized."

when a whistleblower feels safer in china, when north korea can lecture you on human rights, think of the reality being created here.
i think the correct term to apply is morally bankrupt.
