Bolton's Respect For Human Rights

Well, Bolton is living up to the fears of those who opposed him. He feels that American violation of human rights isn't "serious". In addition the UN high commissioner for human rights has no right to criticize the conduct of the U.S. relating to human rights. His words tell the story:

"Today is Human Rights Day. It would be appropriate, I think, for the U.N.'s high commissioner for human rights to talk about the serious human rights problems that exist in the world today," Bolton told reporters. "It is disappointing that she has chosen to talk about press commentary about alleged American conduct. I think the secretary of state has fully and completely addressed the substance of the allegations, so I won't go back into that again other than to reaffirm that the United States does not engage in torture."
