My comment:
You can bet they won't get stuck into allies like Britain or Australia or Sweden. Or the US for that matter. Not to mention Israel.
Remember all the human rights violators who aren't touched cos they're "our sons of bitches" - like Uzbekistan, where the British ambassador Craig Murray was fired for his public criticism of a dictator who boils his enemies alive. Or Colombia (just one example of many) where it's routine for the US to waive human rights conditions in relation to arms deals.
