Human Rights Watch

The problem I have with Human Rights Watch is that, much more than Amnesty International, it shares the political inclinations of every US administration.  It is harsher on governments that are not aligned with US foreign policy, and less harsh with US puppets in the Middle East.  It is clear.  Following Lebanon closely, I can tell you that the organization has always been soft about the Hariri government and did not pay much attention to my knowledge to the plight of Syrian workers in Lebanon.  Are you aware that more than 600 Syrian workers have been missing in Lebanon since the ill-cited Rafiq Hariri was murdered?  This is not counting the hundreds if not thousands who have been killed or injured in the same period.
