War Crimes?

By Diana Hsieh

A question: If Iraq is using state-run television to commit war crimes (by showing American dead and POWs) and to urge terrorists attacks (by urging civilians to suicide bomb US military forces), how can bombing it be the "war crime" that Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch? Do brutal dictatorships have a right to spread propaganda, to commit war crimes, and encourage terrorism?

Steven Den Beste has the real round-up on the sell-out of these organizations to leftist ideology, first in this post and then in this one.
