The character of the ordsprog

The character of the Bush administration is such that the U.S. delegation to the United Nations will -- in practice -- indignantly refuse to recognize a single standard of human rights whenever such a standard would put the U.S. record in a negative light.

Azerbaijan has a poor human rights record, yet it is an important U.S. ally. This is a key moment for President Bush to take a principled stand on human rights and to clarify the administration's expectations.

This report by the U.S. government provides a thorough review of today's human rights practices around the globe, except for one glaring omission -- its own record. The United States government considers itself a moral leader on human rights issues, but its record of indefinite and arbitrary detentions, secret 'black sites' and outsourced torture in the 'war on terror' turns it from leader to human rights violator.

We think that if Washington is to have a shield law, that we should have the highest standard, and we don't see why we should settle for the lower standard of qualified for unpublished material when a higher standard exists.

Whatever the standard is, let's just keep it that way. All I'm saying is I'm hoping it's not a pattern. That's real important. I don't think it's blatant out there, but if there's a standard, let's keep a standard, from day one of the season through the playoffs.

I think the voters believe that when you become president of the United States, you have a higher obligation and a higher standard than anybody in the world, ... And if you violate that standard, they're going to remember it on election day.
