"Germany, which clearly has a superior human rights record than the U.S"
I think I just pissed my pants. Pardon my rudeness, but West Germany was forced to improve their human rights record by imposition from the Allied countries. East Germany continued to have a crap HR record.
Only in the recent record does Germany have a solid HR stance.
