Now That’s “Change” We Do Believe
You could hear jaws dropping all over the world’s human right’s establishment as Secretary of State Hillary Clinton stated the Obama administration’s new policy about human rights vs economic, environmental and security concerns:
Amnesty International and a pro-Tibet group voiced shock Friday after US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton vowed not to let human rights concerns hinder cooperation with China.
Paying her first visit to Asia as the top US diplomat, Clinton said the United States would continue to press China on long-standing US concerns over human rights such as its rule over Tibet.
“But our pressing on those issues can’t interfere on the global economic crisis, the global climate change crisis and the security crisis,” Clinton told reporters in Seoul just before leaving for Beijing.
Hmmm … 4th place.
But Gitmo?
Bad.

So, as long as a country is doing what TAO thinks is “the right thing” on the economy and global warming and doesn’t present an overt threat to the United States, they can feed their people into woodchippers and we won’t complain?

Gotta wonder how all the loopy lefties who were pushing to get us involved in Darfur feel about this? Or was that merely a political ploy to criticize Bush that they didn’t really mean?
