NPR ran a story* this morning about the deaths of prisoners in Uzbekistan, apparently as a result of torture in captivity. The mother of one of the dead is refusing to bury his body until foreign pathologists can do a post-mortem. The State Department has criticized the Uzbek government, and wants an independent investigation. Upon hearing this, my thought was, aren't the Uzbeks going to laugh at us and say, you first?
