Suggested human rights goals for the Obama administration

Human Rights Watch suggests a "Human Rights Agenda for the New Administration":
  1. Ensure that US Counterterrorism Efforts Comply with International Human Rights and Humanitarian Law
  2. Make Human Rights a Central Pillar of US Foreign Policy
  3. Rejoin the International Human Rights Community
  4. Demonstrate Leadership on Human Rights Issues at Home

    a good baby step for Obama would be to "ensure US counterterrorism efforts comply with the Bill of Rights." he needs to prove he can crawl before he tries to walk.
