"Just a few days ago, the United States bombed innocent towns in Afghanistan and I don't know how many innocent women and children died. Somehow the commission missed that one," Chavez mused.
The rights report also highlighted human rights violations in Cuba, Colombia -- a US ally -- and Haiti, while urging the United States to end its 47-year-old economic embargo on Cuba.
