Point / Counterpoint

Point:

"For Amnesty International to suggest that somehow the United States is a violator of human rights, I frankly just don't take them seriously." ---Vice President Dick Cheney

Counterpoint

"He doesn't take torture seriously; he doesn't take the Geneva Convention seriously; he doesn't take due process rights seriously; and he doesn't take international law seriously. And that is more important than whether he takes Amnesty International seriously." ---William Schulz, executive director of Amnesty International USA
