It's All Relative.

The BBC sets out boldly to define slavery and identify its hotspots, yet can't resist highlighting the sins of the Great Satan in the process. This map equates the US with Mauritania and Sudan- a proper post-modern muddle that is a recipe for lamenting loudly and doing nothing (scroll up for article) where it matters.

Meanwhile they give another criminal ('Mr Sheet') chance to dissemble about his tortured Darfur region:

"We are Muslims, this is against our code of honour."

To which the follow-up question ought to be, aren't the local blacks Muslims too? Needless to say it isn't asked.
