Absolutely hilarious.
So true. Amnesty International is of course invested with its own agenda.
CSIS is a bi-partisan DC think tank which says it is dedicated to “finding ways to sustain American prominence and prosperity as a force for good in the world.”
Unfortunately, CSIS later pulled the tweet and apologized.
Our sincerest apologies to @Amnesty & our followers. Our last tweet was sent in error. We're reviewing internal policies for social media.

Amnesty claimed on MSNBC that there was a human rights crisis in Ferguson:
"There is clearly a human rights crisis here." – Amnesty International executive director on MSNBC.

What was the “human rights crisis”?
"The indiscriminate use of tear gas… that's a clear violation of human rights standards." – Amnesty International exec. director

No it wasn’t.
Police use of tear gas in #Ferguson Was deliberate and accurate. Debate whether they should have used it, but its employment was spot on.
