The Washington Post reports President Bush has begun meeting prominent dissidents in an attempt to highlight human rights abuses committed around the world. Dissidents from Venezuela, North Korea, Russia and Belarus have all recently met with Bush or Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice. But the Washington Post points out no such meetings have taken place with dissidents from Uzbekistan, Pakistan, Egypt and Saudi Arabia. All four countries are close allies with Washington even though they have some of the worst human rights records in the world.
