Is Amnesty International an "absurd" group of American Haters?

Wow, 5 yes votes out of 8. That's sad.
5 out of 7 before I voted.

I will repeat this again, since apparently people didn't see it the first six times.  Amnesty International, and for that matter no independent organization, believes the detainees at Gitmo are innocent of the charge of being a terrorist.  I repeat, no one, not even Amnesty, has challenged the status of the enemy combatants there.

Their position is that some are innocent, and anyways, what happened to "innocent until proven guilty"?

Amnesty International's current front page links to news articles that criticize the following countries:

Two criticisms:
China

One criticism:
Afghanistan
Lebanon
European Union
Mexico
Nigeria
Russia
United Kingdom
United States
Zimbabwe

More critical of the United States than of Sudan, I take it.  Impressive.

Sure tells me something.  Good to know that Syria, Iran, and North Korea are bastions of human rights.

Is there some rule that if Amnesty International didn't happen to mention a country on their current front page, then that country is a bastion of human rights?

They have recent news on the Sudan. The latest news only goes to the 8th, but if you click More News, you get to an article from the 6th.

In addition, if you hit More reports, you get a report from May 20th.

It also shows up multiple times in Urgent Actions:
