In its annual report released today, Amnesty International concludes that the US-led war on terror has produced the most sustained attack on human rights and international law in 50 years. A leader of Amnesty said “The global security agenda promoted by the U.S. administration is bankrupt of vision and bereft of principle. Violating rights at home, turning a blind eye to abuses abroad, and using pre-emptive military force where and when it chooses have damaged justice and freedom, and made the world a more dangerous place.”
