Close the Gitmo Gulag
Today is the sixth anniversary of the U.S. concentration camp at Guantanamo, Cuba. I protest everything it represents: torture, kangaroo courts, suspension of Habeas Corpus, abnegation of U.S. treaty commitments, rejection of "innocent until proven guilty", and the very idea that some humans are not worthy of the rights we U.S. citizens claim for ourselves.
Let's close it down.
Update: If you harbor any lingering inklings that the victims of Gitmo might need to be there, reading Andy Worthington's book, The Guantánamo Files: The Stories of the 774 Detainees in America’s Illegal Prison is likely to dispel them.
