In an effort not to offend the politically correct, leftist establishment, such as the NAACP, Rastafarians, Muslims and other psychotics who hate Whites, the US is making an effort to ask Arab Muslim countries to please tone the slavery thing they have been engaged in for a thousand years or so.
They only mention Arab Muslim nations, but Israel and most of those African and Asian and Far East countries need to really stop this filthy practice also. And the US does not want to criticize every third world country because then they will get mad at the U.S. and all the liberals will curl up in the fetal position and cry.
U.S. criticizes Gulf allies on human trafficking
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States criticized four Gulf Arab allies as some of the world's worst offenders in permitting human trafficking on Friday in a rebuke Washington hopes will promote improved human rights in the Middle East.
The State Department downgraded Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates to the lowest level of compliance in the report, which evaluates countries' efforts in fighting the trafficking of thousands of people forced into servitude or the sex trade every year.
Victims in the region were mainly domestic servants and laborers but also included boy camel jockeys, according to the report.
It cited the case of a 17-year-old orphan, Lusa, kidnapped from Uzbekistan and was sold into a slavery ring in UAE. She was eventually "no longer usable" as a prostitute and the emirates' immigration service said she should serve a two-year prison sentence for entering the country illegally.
Officials from the Gulf countries were not immediately available to comment on the one-step downgrade, which ranks them with such countries as Burma,
North Korea and Sudan.
"This report shows that in this administration we will not pull our punches even with our friends. We appreciate their cooperation in other areas but they just don't have a good track record fighting this," a State Department official said on condition of anonymity.
Each of the four nations has oil resources vital to Washington and also gave logistical support for the U.S. invasion of
Iraq in 2003.
The lowest category in the congressionally mandated annual report is called Tier 3, which lists countries that "do not fully comply with the minimum standards (laid down by U.S. law) and are not making significant efforts to do so."...
