US contempt for human rights

WELL done. The Irish Examiner has the courage to highlight (July 15) America’s human rights record and the craven facilitation of rendition by our Government.

We should not let our cultural links blind us to America’s contempt for human rights, justice and the rule of law.

As the world’s only superpower it can do whatever it wants with impunity, knowing other governments will kowtow to it and the sycophantic media will relay its lies and propaganda.
