Rodong Sinmun Monday observes in a bylined commentary in this regard:

Human rights abuses perpetrated by the U.S. behind the curtain of "anti-terror war" should be disclosed before the whole world and should face a stern punishment by human conscience.

The U.S. set up such prisons overseas with an aim to commit horrible human rights abuses in secrecy, the commentary notes, and goes on:

Not a few pieces of information about how cruelly the U.S. has treated inmates of its secret prisons overseas so far have been disclosed.

What merits more serious attention is that torture was officially allowed there.

It had been known already that six days after the Sept. 11, 2001 incident the U.S. administration approved the regulations on the operation of secret prisons overseas and, accordingly, the CIA issued an instruction on building the above-said prisons and allowing torture there.

This goes to prove that the issue of the U.S. operation of its secret prisons is a state-sponsored organized crime.

It is only the U.S. that set up secret prisons similar to Nazi concentration camps and legally allowed torture, pursuant to a national policy after the Second World War. The above-said human rights abuses put into the shade the atrocities perpetrated by fascist Germany which won ill-fame in history.

The U.S. has talked this or that about human rights of other countries in its annual "report on human rights" though it took the lead in committing human rights abuses stunning the world. This is a political caricature inviting derision of all people.

With nothing can the U.S. conceal its true colors as the worst human rights abuser.
