Human Rights Report Highlights
By The Associated Press – 13 hours ago

Highlights from the Bush administration's annual report on human rights conditions around the world.

Afghanistan — The human rights situation in Afghanistan continued to be problematic in 2007, due to an insurgency that killed more than 6,500 people. These deaths included assassinations, roadside bombs and suicide attacks. Corruption and drug trafficking also contributed to violations. Other problems included torture, poor prison conditions, long pretrial detentions, restrictions on press and religious freedoms, discrimination against women, human trafficking and child labor.

Iraq — Human rights abuses in Iraq stemmed from a combination of government weakness and violence from sectarian, ethnic and other extremist groups. Reported problems reported included criminal and extremist groups usurping authority, arbitrary killing, disappearance, torture, poor conditions in prisons and detention facilities, denial of fair trials, and arbitrary arrests and detentions. New military efforts coupled with citizen groups standing up to extremists helped decrease violence in the second half of the year.


Its all them damn extremist groups fault. Yea, thats the ticket.

"Reported problems reported included criminal and extremist groups usurping authority, arbitrary killing, disappearance, torture, poor conditions in prisons and detention facilities, denial of fair trials, and arbitrary arrests and detentions."
