"Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch criticized the British government for a report on Saddam’s use of torture and summary executions. The two groups usually welcome such documentation of human rights violations, but they criticized the British government for using the report as propaganda to justify an attack on Iraq."

In other words, We're all against torture and summary executions, but we hush it up in certain circumstances for political correctness.

The left used to be against torture and summary execution. Times have changed and now the very organizations charged with stopping it are actively trying to cover it up.
