Human Rights Watch Releases Annual Report- Democracies Not Holding Authoritarian Leaders Accountable

From "The Voice of America"

"The bad news is that established democracies are letting autocrats pass themselves off as democrats," said Human Rights Watch Director Kenneth Roth. He said the last year has seen a "cheapening or degradation" of democracy."

Hmmmm... can anyone think of an autocrat passing himself off as a President in the name of democracy?
