We don't know what the alleged "human rights violation" is. If it's something morally repugnant -- like supporting terrorism, or torture -- then that's fucked up, and should be condemned. But if it's something relatively contrived and pathetic -- like warrantless searches, short-term detainment without charge, etc. -- then nobody is likely to care much. A counter-insurgency special forces operation is never going to operate like that time when you went to the DMV on Long Island and got your driver's license.
