Obama should look here before there

During President Obama's statement regarding the death of Qaddafi, he had this to say (emphasis mine):

And we call on our Libyan friends to continue to work with the international community to secure dangerous materials, and to respect the human rights of all Libyans –- including those who have been detained.

First of all, this is awfully patronizing. What... The Libyans were just about to violate the rights of THEIR detainees, but thank goodness Obama was there to shake them out of that sensibility? Of course, this is just more of the "American Exceptionalism" attitude that is thrust upon a world deemed beneath the U.S political insiders.

But more importantly, let's look at a glass house here. What human rights have we, the U.S., respected to those detained by us?

Have those imprisoned in Guantanamo had due process? I think not. Were they not tortured? And anyone who says that they have had their rights respected is either simply lying or grossly ignorant.
