Human Rights Watch, which has been particularly concerned for months over the plight of a right-wing lawyer in Lebanon--Muhammad Mughrabi--(not knowing whether he is eating well and drinking well--although he is free, and the organization that believes certain human rights abuses may be good for Arab people's heath, says that targeting of Iraqi civilians by armed opponents of US occupation are committing war crimes. No problem here. I agree with them on that point. My problem is this: would you ask the esteemed Human Rights Watch whether the killing of Iraqi civilians by US forces constitute ANY crime at all? Or does Human Rights Watch consider the killing of Iraqi civilians by US troops to be good for the Human Rights cause that they so lousily represent?
