US Criticizing Pakistan over Human Rights.
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/30/world/asia/30disappear.html
"The concern is over a steady stream of accounts from human rights groups that Pakistan’s security services have rounded up thousands of people over the past decade, mainly in Baluchistan, a vast and restive province far from the fight with the Taliban, and are holding them incommunicado without charges."
How is this different from what the United States is doing at Gitmo? Round people up. Fly them half way around the world. Don't give them a lawyer. Don't charge them with a crime. Don't give them a day in court. Leave them there forever.
When the United States does it there is no issue. If Pakistan does it we have a problem.
