Here's a lesson in foreign relations: It's only a human rights violation if you aren't on our side. Case in point: Uzbekistan.

Uzbekistan is a great entry point into Afghanistan (map), so in order to land jets there and use their airspace, we fund them and overlook the whole no free elections thing.

Oh, and there's that little bit about boiling prisoners to death. No biggie.

After all, it's important to note that the Uzbekies are torturing muslim dissidents. I guess that's okay, since we're detaining a few of our own, right?
