The same countries that were abusing human rights before 9/11 are still abusing human rights. THe only power that has changed is the Taliban and Saddam's Regime - they got removed by force - and the human rights abuses of both countries just have a different government in charge of them. Of course the United States is violating some human rights of some individuals - we have the death pently, and now we are fighting a war against a nebulous enemy - who has no problem committing several forms of criminal and horrendous acts.

No other government has had drastic change - and this report only states a politicial opinion of Amensity International. An organization that was condemning the United States for Human Rights abuses before 9/11. So one must take with a grain of salt anything coming out of this organization, and since the United States is the biggest kid on the block - its easier to point to us then to actually condemn and hold responsible the leaders and countries that commit human rights violations.
