It is wrong to assert, as Human Rights Watch does, that human rights violations by the United States means they have lost the the moral high ground and can no longer lead by example. They never had the moral high ground, and rather than leading by example they now simply follow the example of every other tyrant in history. HRW seem to believe in some mythical golden age where the US didn't shaft the world for it's own short term benefit.
