US needs to look in the mirror

Country should clean up its act before pointing fingers at others

China's Information Office of the State Council published a report titled "The Human Rights Record of the United States in 2009" on Friday. Following is the full text:

The State Department of the United States released its Country Reports on Human Rights Practices for 2009 on Thursday, posing as "the world judge of human rights" again. As in previous years, the reports are full of accusations of the human rights situation in more than 190 countries and regions including China, but turn a blind eye to, or dodge and even cover up rampant human rights abuses on its own territory. The Human Rights Record of the United States in 2009 is prepared to help people around the world understand the real situation of human rights in the United States.
