- obliviousfool, on 10/23/2007, -2/+142Amnesty International does good work. I'm glad they are increasingly focusing efforts on the US.
- MikeMacMan, on 10/24/2007, -2/+91I could not agree more with this Ad. I am so sick of this terrorist witch hunt. We are losing our rights and all respect the world has for us.

for what the submitter should have done in the first place. - orangesoda, on 10/29/2007, -1/+87Crazy politicians...should have used white-out. Then you can re-write that stuff instead of just removing it.
- WaterDragon, on 10/26/2007, -5/+90It might just as well have been an ad for the Ron Paul campaign.
But somehow, it seems sad that such a story has to appear as an AD, and is not simply covered as NEWS!
And it is even worse that so many people don't even know about the destruction of the Constitution by these criminals who have hijacked the government and America, ignoring their oaths of office to UPHOLD the constitution!. - fmaxwell, on 10/23/2007, -6/+81Thank you! You saved me. Had I viewed a PDF, my PC could have been reduced to a smoking mass and my life could have started a downward spiral that would have, inevitably, lead to me being found dead of a heroin overdose in some back alley. Thank God for people like you!
- MonkeyFarts, on 10/23/2007, -3/+52Why on earth are you guys using Acrobat? That program sucks & is a resource hog - of course it's going to grind your system to a halt! Get something lighter and faster, like Foxit - http://www.snapfiles.com/reviews/Foxit_PDF_Reader/ ...
Loading a PDF shouldn't be any different from loading a JPG image. Ever. - fmaxwell, on 10/23/2007, -2/+42Preventing torture and political imprisonment is a "tiny and obscure political agenda" but making sure that you can pack heat should be the prime focus of a worldwide organization? Dude, you have seriously f*cked up priorities. And that's coming from a gun owner.
- frsrblch, on 10/23/2007, -0/+32Some animals are more equal then others.
- DangerCollie, on 10/26/2007, -1/+31I find it hugely sad that AI has to point out to the US that we've fallen from the principles that used to guide this country.
- soteek, on 10/26/2007, -1/+28Everybody knows that listening to politicians is a mistake.
- DelSolMan, on 10/26/2007, -17/+44Digg needs a pdf section now?
- djchester, on 10/23/2007, -0/+26Yes money well spent (as I support Amnesty International every month). US need to comply with the Geneva convention. End of discussion.
- jeffiek, on 10/26/2007, -3/+26And yet the anarchists and libertarians, who realize this means politicians should be gotten rid of, are called nuts.
The Republicans and Democrats, who keep calling for more, are "normal".
Go figure. - brstilson, on 10/23/2007, -2/+23PDF: instead of saying what you need to say in 30 KB, why not add some anti-aliasing and use 5 MB instead?
- Richandler, on 10/26/2007, -1/+22Ha, now if we actually had an article in the USA Today breaking down how the constitution is barely followed in any way at all.
- scottknick, on 10/23/2007, -2/+23"Making the world a safer place requires consistent and universal respect for human rights." Why is this so difficult for some people to understand?
- xpiotr, on 10/22/2007, -2/+22The fact that the submitter is surprised that an American newspaper has an ad for "Amnesty International",
an aclaimed international Human Rights Organisation, says more about the mindset and political climat in the USA, than the actual ad, which is interesting in itself.
Land of the free? - SiNN4R, on 10/21/2007, -6/+25PDFs are annoying. I use Opera and it runs acrobat to open it. Not to mention acrobat asks me to update.
- Gunrun, on 10/20/2007, -1/+19You're lucky... Half the time Adobe Reader in Firefox crashes firefox or at least causes it to freeze up for several seconds.
- Skeea, on 10/21/2007, -1/+18or half the time...
- nihilite, on 10/21/2007, -0/+17probably closer to 113 times out of 226.
- phnx0221, on 10/20/2007, -3/+20See, now this again, is refreshing to see in the mainstream media. Although I wouldn't be surprised if this received the same backlash as the "betray us" ad, it is still nice to see ads and articles that open the eyes to the infringements that have been committed. Ralph Nadar had an article in the Washington Post about our current capitalism and how it hurts our economy and lessens our rights as consumers.
Seeing things like this in MMS, all I can really say is, it's about damn time. - Scumbunny, on 10/26/2007, -2/+18The sad part is it's not just laws like the one cited in the ad. Imminent domain, gun control and unnecessary nanny state laws, overt political correctness - this didn't just happen overnight, folks.
- dcsohl, on 10/20/2007, -0/+16That's a capital i, not lowercase L. *A*mnesty *I*nternational. AI.
- inactive, on 10/22/2007, -3/+19hitler did it too. he had to protect germany from the 'evil jews'.
- P5ycHo, on 10/26/2007, -0/+16I would, but where are the grown ups? Certainly not behind the wheel of the US.
- h4ppydotcom, on 10/26/2007, -0/+16...I think the US has had one to many happy meals, _there's_ a _layer_ of fat insulating people brains!
- brstilson, on 10/21/2007, -2/+185 times out of 10, closing a PDF in Firefox will cause it to freeze and crash.
- Abomonog, on 10/21/2007, -1/+16For all you griping about whether the Constitution is applicable to foreign persons detained by our military...
International law requires every country detaining foreign citizens to do so under the rule of the detaining countries law. Therefore by definition since the Constitution is part of U.S. law all persons detained by the United States are subject to it's laws WITHOUT exception. This means that the Constitution applies to all who are held by American forces whether they be American or not. It does not matter who the Constitution was intended for. International law requires us to apply the Constitution to everyone detained by the U.S.
End of story. - inactive, on 10/22/2007, -1/+15Ever hear of the 4th amendment, *****?
Or how about a government that is constantly operating beyond their allowed means as defined by the constitution?
Why ask such a dumb question? - VinceNoir, on 10/20/2007, -2/+16Not 'has", but "had". Respect for the U.S. disappeared when we became a terrorist state in 2003 and invaded Iraq unprovoked.
- unloud, on 10/20/2007, -4/+17It is processor intensive for many people, and the older versions of Acrobat Reader were rather buggy.
- azimir, on 10/21/2007, -0/+13Without doubt. "All men are created equal" (yes, I know, not the actual Constitution, but a very related work by the same authors).
Next question? - seanieb, on 10/20/2007, -3/+16Well now in fairness...."And it is even worse that so many people don't even know about the destruction of the Constitution ". Who's fault is that?
It has been in the news, but its a country where people get more upset about a renaming of a store (Macy's Chicago) than thousands of soldiers getting killed because of lies upon lies.
I think the US has had one to many happy meals, theirs a lair of fat insulating people brains! - MonkeyFarts, on 10/20/2007, -0/+13Really? Because this very country was founded on a VERY different principle than that. There's a reason why interest groups like this one exist.
- seanieb, on 10/20/2007, -0/+12I agree. That my point. They are the ones making the ticking time bomb references to justify torture.
It amazes me what fear can do to people and their ideas. - clothmonkey, on 10/20/2007, -0/+12So your defense of our inhumane treatment of prisoners is that the other side does it, and they are nastier about it? If someone else has larger ***** on their underwear than you do, do you automatically assume that your underwear is clean? Saying we torture people less is still an admission of torture. And before you jump back on your troll-horse, I should point out that I am not condoning people being beheaded on video, either, or saying that it is no worse than the practices known to be in use today. I am saying that absolutely NO degree of inhumanity is acceptable, ever.
- WoollyMittens, on 10/21/2007, -3/+15Because everyone knows , learning from the past is a bad idea?
- seanieb, on 10/20/2007, -0/+11I know, I spotted it and tried to edit it, but alas 60 seconds isnt enough time for my internal spelling filter tto get going...balls
Also it should be "too many happy meals"....ah well. - fmaxwell, on 10/21/2007, -9/+20All of those Digg users with 386SX PCs using Acrobat Reader 1.0 are forever in your debt.
- heresy_fnord, on 10/22/2007, -1/+12airiox, you are dense.
- GMorgan, on 10/20/2007, -3/+14You can't be serious. Just loading the PDF viewer takes several seconds and then there's the fact a normal webpage is quite space efficient while PDF is the most bloated standard on the planet.
- kreneskyp, on 10/21/2007, -1/+12of course they missed one small thing: LAWS CANNOT OVERRIDE THE CONSTITUTION.
the MCA is unconstitutional and therefore invalid. - munleymun, on 10/20/2007, -9/+19Is USA Today even a real paper? I thought it was Holiday Inn's daily newsletter.
- MarkCiccone, on 10/22/2007, -0/+10And the NRA, about three million members, isn't an 'obscure political' group?
- nblsavage, on 10/20/2007, -0/+9have you adopted any babies? If not ***** off.
- rivasj, on 10/21/2007, -1/+10But if Bush said the baby was a future enemy combatant terrorist...
- lathicentropy, on 10/21/2007, -1/+10let's get gay marriage first, that'd make it easier to revoke, since, you know, we need something to exist to banish it.
