Cubas Government Newspaper is concerned that the U.S. is not living up to it's Human Rights reputation. Unlike Cuba which we all know is a model for the treatment of the common Cuban.Cubas jails are known for their cleanliness and wonderful treatment of the average political prisoner.
UNDER Bush, the United States, the country that most utilizes the human rights issue for propaganda purposes, currently maintains more than 7 million of its own citizens in its prison system, both state and federal, without including citizens held in city or county jails.This truly chilling fact was announced by Cory Booker, mayor of Newark, New Jersey, which neighbors New York. He affirmed that parallel to the Iraq disaster, the United States is facing a domestic catastrophe of gigantic proportions.
In an extensive analysis on his city’s situation, written with a sincerity that is unusual among U.S. politicians and published in the newspaper The Star-Ledger, Mayor Booker said, moreover, that every day, more guns and more technology are appearing; more cameras scanning the streets, while more is spent on prisons, penitentiaries and juvenile facilities.
The way that the country has chosen to deal with crime is taking the nation away from its most noble ideals and creating an outcome that totally contradicts what the country is supposed to be, the mayor said, alluding mostly to the failure of the so-called war on drugs.
