Amnesty International, Freedom House & Discrimination

On Amnesty International or this

"I’m still a little uneasy about citing Amnesty, ever, simply because of its political nonsense. It seems to want credit for 'evenhandedness,' and this means grouping the United States with genuine human-rights violators. It’s far wiser to rely on Freedom House, which actually knows the difference between Guantanamo Bay and the Gulag."

Would one dare term this a good shot . . . from the Shotgun?

Appropos of the above, using discrimination means being able to "make or see a distinction; differentiate (cannot discriminate as between right and wrong)". The Canadian Oxford Dictionary also adds "have good judgment". . . in this case, perhaps just the application of common sense?
