Those god-damned Human rights groups are just providing cover for
the New Imperialism. These NGOs are just "mendicant orders" like
the
Dominicans and Jesuits of old. In reality its the religious
zealots of
Egypt who have forced the government to mend its ways. Of course,
if/when they take power they'll reinstitute torture but that's
besides the
point.
