WTF Is It Now?!?

From democrats.com: Noozeweak Caught in Bald-Faced Lie to Hide U.S. Practice of Recruiting Child Soldiers

"What do the U.S. and Somalia have in common - besides being run by greedy warlords? They are the only two nations in the WORLD refusing to ratify the Convention for the Rights of Children. The CRC seeks to protect children from exploitation. 250 million kids are now victims of child labor, including exploitation in the sex trade. But Bush and Co. don't like the CRC because: (1) The "compassionate conservatives" in the Christian right are afraid they'll lose the right to discipline (beat? starve? lock up?) their kids as they wish. (2) Bush wants to reserve the right to turn kids as young as 16 into soldiers. Horrible? You bet! But when Newsweek did a story (May 13 issue) on child soldiering, although outrage was expressed at the exploitation of children during war, not a word was mentioned about the U.S.'s stand on CRC or its own practice of child recruitment. And they STILL want us to believe the "liberal media" myth?" - more at http://www.fair.org/activism/child-soldiers.html
