FP: Andy McCarthy, welcome to Frontpage Interview.
Amnesty International supports individuals such as Former Gitmo detainee Moazzam Begg. Tell us what exactly is going on here.
McCarthy: Jamie, it's great to be here, as always.
People need to understand what Amnesty International is: a hard-left political organization. It is one of the bastions of what John Fonte calls transnational progressivism, and it's agenda is a post-sovereign world theoretically governed by an abstraction AI calls "international humanitarian law" but, as a practical matter, ruled by the leftists who make up what this purported corpus of "law" means as they go along (just as they make up what "social justice" and other such abstractions mean to suit the exigencies of the moment).
