Amnesty: U.S. Terror War Makes World More Dangerous
Amnesty International has released its annual report on global human rights abuses in 2002. The report finds:
Washington's ``war on terror'' has made the world more dangerous by curbing human rights, undermining international law and shielding governments from scrutiny.
The news article about the report goes on to say:
....In one of its most critical sideswipes yet at Washington, Amnesty said the bid to stamp out terror in the wake of the attacks of September 11, 2001, had largely backfired.
``It has deepened divisions among people of different faiths and origins, sowing the seeds for more conflict,'' it said in a statement. ``The overwhelming impact of all this is genuine fear across all sectors of society.''
