Obama allies with worst human rights abusers

In his fight against the Taliban, Obama has allied with some of the worst human rights abusers, namely some of the Central Asian dictators.
In the last three months, Mr Obama has cut deals with Presidents Islam Karimov of Uzbekistan and Kurmanbek Bakiyev of Kyrgyzstan. Mr Karimov has been accused by a former British ambassador of ordering two opponents boiled alive. One of Mr Bakiyev's critics was recently stabbed 26 times in the buttocks by unknown assailants.
