Military spending is appropriated by congress. In 1994 when military spending really started to slide, it was the first year that republicans controlled both houses of congress. So to blame Clinton for the cuts to the military is not totally accurate.
As far as Amnesty International from what I can tell they monitor governments and as seen by our classification of the prisoners at Gitmo, the insurgents in Iraq would be classified as enemy combatants not under any government supervision and thereby not monitored by AI. |
