Today's Chutzpah Award Winner is...

In what has to be the winner of the Chutzpah Award a UN panel on human rights officially criticized the US yesterday for human rights violations.

A U.N. humanrights panel yesterday demanded the immediate closure of any secret U.S. detention facilities and criticized Washington on other issues, calling for a moratorium on capital punishment and better treatment of the poor and blacks after Hurricane Katrina.

Officials in Washington said the U.N. Human Rights Committee was out of bounds in examining U.S. practices outside the United States, but said they would consider its recommendations.

Consider its recommendations? How about telling them to get lost and clean up their own problems. Direct them to places like North Korea, Iran, Cuba or go to any number of countries in Kofi show me the money Annan’s backyard, Africa. Then they wonder why Americans are so anti UN. Just amazing!
