British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen, appearing in character as Admiral General Haffaz Aladeen to promote his new film, The Dictator, has been working in lines about the double standards of American human rights assessments. "What in Wadiya you call genocide," he says, referring to the dictator's fictitious Arab homeland, "in Texas you call the justice system."
