*Human Rights Watch purports to be "strictly non-partisan" in orientation and maintains that it "does not favor any political force." In practice, HRW has often operated as a partisan organization, dressing up its decidedly leftwing political preferences in the language of human rights.

:Or, seen in a different light, the left wing of the political spectrum puts more value on human rights than the right wing. Which is not to say that the right wing has no respect for human rights, but it tends to allow things like national security to be superior.
:I'm not trying to judge anybody's opinion, except for the opinion that HRW is "clearly" not what it says it is, "by all accounts." Sorry for the wishy-washyness, but sometimes there really are two sides no matter how distasteful the other side is.
