U.S. Should Close Prison in Cuba, U.N. Panel Says - New York Times: "An important United Nations panel roundly criticized the United States on Friday for its treatment of terrorism suspects, and called for shutting down the detention camp at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba.
First of all, I wasn't aware of any panel associated with the United Nations that has any importance to anyone that pays the bills around there.
The panel's criticism came as military officials at Guantánamo disclosed the most serious disturbances by prisoners there since the camp opened four years ago, and reported new suicide attempts that had left two detainees hospitalized and unconscious."
Maybe the "important UN panel should concern themselves with more egregious matters like this one instead of the non-existent rights of enemy combatants caught on a battlefield during a time of war living better at camp gitmo than their cave or sandbox at home.
Iran eyes badges for Jews
"Human rights groups are raising alarms over a new law passed by the Iranian parliament that would require the country's Jews and Christians to wear coloured badges to identify them and other religious minorities as non-Muslims.
'This is reminiscent of the Holocaust,' said Rabbi Marvin Hier, the dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles. 'Iran is moving closer and closer to the ideology of the Nazis.'"
