Doesn't "Know For Sure"

Despite highly publicized charges of U.S.
mistreatment of prisoners at Guantanamo, the head of the Amnesty International USA, William Schulz, said on Sunday the group doesn't "know for sure" that the military is running a "gulag."

Schulz noted that it was Amnesty's headquarters in London that issued the annual report on global human rights, which said Guantanamo Bay "has become the gulag of our times."

Asked about the comparison, Schulz said,
"Clearly this is not an exact or a literal analogy."

I know for sure that comparing Gitmo to a gulag sounds clearly exact and literal to me.

Amnesty International must have learned "reporting" from Newsweek's, Mark Whitaker, who commented amidst criticism on Newsweek's Koran flushing by US guards story, "We're not retracting anything. We don't know what the ultimate facts are".

Assumptions, suppositions, and anonymous sources -- Amnesty International's gulag analogy needs to be flushed.
