Human rights do not matter to him

Can Edward Snowden cite human rights and still applaud Putin?



"Perhaps it was no more than being naive, but to list Putin's Russia, as Snowden did, among his little list of countries for "being the first to stand against human rights violations" suggests a dangerous moral relativism.

Far from being a champion, Russia's record on human rights violations is a grim one. Snowden's meeting with human rights groups in Moscow's Sheremetyevo airport was preceded by another piece of human rights news – the posthumous conviction of whisteblower Sergei Magnitsky, who was tortured in a Russian prison and denied medical attention that might have saved his life.

Amnesty, whose representative was at the Snowden meeting, had earlier announced the latest murder of a journalist in Russia, Akhmednabi Akhmednabiev, who was killed by an unknown gunman in the North Caucasus region after his name appeared on a death list."

They will claim that human rights bodies in Russia are simply creatures of the C.I.A., that they exist only because of funding from the United States, and are aimed at imposing the will of the United States on Russia, if not at the outright overthrow of Putin himself, and probably all in the interest of preventing competition with the dollar in energy markets or seizing Russia's resources, or preventing an alliance of Russia with China and India and Brazil that will replace the United States as global hegemon if brought to fruition, and prevention of which is the chief and desperate aim of U.S. foreign policy....
