God Bless The Youth Of America.

Particularly when a handcuffed nine-year-old gets tasered by the American police.

I mention this two year old news story only because MSPs are due to be lobbied by Amnesty International today, regarding the use of tasers in Scotland. Is it just me, or does the thought of Amnesty International having to tell the UK to stop doing something make you a little queasy? I used to think of them as fighting for the rights of the population in third-world countries with tin-pot dictatorships.

Oh wait. Do you see what I've done there?
