Saudi Arabia, our partners in peace
Feb. 14th, 2008 08:52 amHuman Rights Watch has appealed to Saudi Arabia to halt the execution of a woman convicted of witchcraft.
In a letter to King Abdullah, the rights group described the trial and conviction of Fawza Falih as a miscarriage of justice.
The illiterate woman was detained by religious police in 2005 and allegedly beaten and forced to fingerprint a confession that she could not read.
And our former moral high ground on issues like this is where?
Oh, right. Nowhere. Because a Supreme Court justice has said the torture is OK if the information obtained is important enough.
It's getting hard to tell which are the bad guys and which are the good guys.
