11. Take a CLOSE look at that statement, by McLiar:
"...we show that by holding people ACCOUNTABLE when they break the law or violate human rights......., bla bla windbag, blowhard, lies, outright lies, etc.

See how he twisted that around? The statement, "Human Rights" usually refers to undeniable rights that we all have as citizens of Planet Earth, certain things we can expect; like the minimum of decency and things like that.

MCLiar, on the other hand, is focusing on obligations, culpability, ways that you can be guilty of violating human rights.

Which is exactly what we do. We Violate human rights.
