Who's doing the most repressing these days? The U.S. State Department has a lot to say on the subject, with its impressive and highly-detailed human rights reports. Extrajudicial killings and the like are documented, often down to the level of single cases. Read about how Uzbekistan -- a key U.S. ally in the War on Terror, and now home to a U.S. military base -- turns out prisoners with "extensive bruises and burns, the latter reportedly caused by immersion in boiling water." Sweet Lord.
