Heal thyself on human rights, China tells U.S.

What a headline ...

BEIJING — China issued a report card Thursday on human rights in the United States.

It lambasted the Pentagon for “wanton slaughters” abroad, belittled U.S. elections as awash in special-interest cash, and accused U.S. courts of deep-seated racial bias.

The Chinese government report, which portrayed the United States as gun-crazed and unfair to minorities, came three days after the State Department released its annual report on human rights abuses in countries around the world, including China.

It marked the sixth straight year that China has countered the American report with one of its own, but this year's was particularly noteworthy because it condemned the United States for abuses by American soldiers at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq.
