The leader of Amnesty International said in a talk Wednesday that the United States has taken too narrow a view of how to fight terrorism and said she hopes the next president can be more effective in protecting the vulnerable across the world.
Irene Khan, secretary general of the human rights organization, addressed students and others at the Clinton School of Public Service in Little Rock, Arkansas. ''People around the world are looking to the US on human rights issues,'' Khan said afterward. ''It is disappointing to see the US focus on counterterrorism erode human rights.'' (AP)
