Maybe Human Rights Watch should also watch the demonstrations in the US against Wall street, and monitor police brutality against US citizens. James Madison (and John Locke earlier ) warned against rebellion of governments against their people - they didnt believe people could rebel against government, because government rests on the consent of the governed, so when people "rebel," and the government cracks down, its really the government that is in rebellion. (I know my political theory, dammit!)
