The head of the Amnesty International USA said on Sunday the group doesn't "know for sure" that the military is running a "gulag." Executive Director William Schulz said Amnesty, often cited worldwide for documenting human rights abuses, also did not know whether Secretary Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld approved severe torture methods such as beatings and starvation. Schulz recently dubbed Rumsfeld an "apparent high-level architect of torture" in asserting he approved interrogation methods that violated international law. "It would be fascinating to find out. I have no idea," Schulz told "Fox News Sunday."

Apparently the Executive Director of AI believes the best way to advance that entity’s goals is to make acusations and see if something sticks. Naturally one wonders whether AI "knows for sure" about other accusations they have made relating to human rights anywhere else.
I also saw a note they had contributed generously to the Democratic presidential bid.
