If you believe USA has better human rights record, think again. Just read about how this country treats its black citizens.
Let me mention the Vietnam war, for which most HN readers are probably familiar with. I was in the War Remnants Museum in Saigon and here is what I saw.
In one photo, taken by US journalist, a Viet Cong was being held on the ground by American GIs, a rag is placed over the man's face and water is poured over it, making breathing impossible. That's called water torture. And that was 1968.
