I’ve just sent [a short post](http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/244822/america-s-human-rights-problem-intellectual-corruption-roger-pilon) to “The Corner” at *NRO* on the Obama State Department’s new report to the U.N. Human Rights Council on human rights conditions in the U.S. In a word, we’ve got problems, especially concerning women, minorities, etc., but we’re trying to live up to the expectations of other human rights exemplars on the council — Russia, China, Saudi Arabia, Cuba.

Read and weep.
