The double standard meter just blew up

The U.S. mission in Asmara(Eritrea) would not confirm or deny the latest arrests. A spokesman added that the two employees(Eritreans) arrested in 2001 were still being held without charge despite Washington's repeated demands for their release or trial.

And as for the Eritrean guy held at Guantanamo? No release, No trial. That metallic sproinging sound you hear is the double standard meter exploding in it's own astonishment.

And just to put the meter out of it's misery, there's this from Reuters.

Iraq's justice minister has condemned the U.S. military for detaining thousands of Iraqis for long periods without charge and wants to change a U.N. resolution that gives foreign troops immunity from Iraqi law.

***And while we're on double standards, can you tell me why Pakistan directly supplying arms, support, and harboring terrorists in relation to Kashmir is any different than Iran doing the same thing with Palestine?
