UN Renews Call for Guantanamo Closure
News:
Five UN human rights experts today urged the Bush administration to close its prison camp at Guantanamo Bay, calling the recent suicides of three inmates “foreseeable in light of the harsh and prolonged conditions of their detention”. The deaths have prompted fresh outrage over the already much-criticized prison, and have led the American Medical Association to adopt new guidelines barring doctors from assisting in the interrogation of prisoners, in reaction to new Pentagon regulations authorizing military doctors to participate.
But there's still HOPE !!!!
as Bill Moyers put it,
"...remember that the same culture which produced the Ku Klux Klan, Tom DeLay, Ken Lay and Abu Ghraib, also brought forth the Peace Corps, Martin Luther King and The New Deal!"

...when the rapture righties complete their takeover, where would Chimpy put his political enemies? We'd have to outsource political prison to Iraq, the Ukraine or even China! Gitmo will humanely keep lib prisoners closer to home while providing jobs for angry young white guys who got fired by Wal-Mart.
COUP ACCOMPLISHED!
Human salvation lies in the hands of the creatively maladjusted.

By LiberalIconoclastJune 14, 2006 - 11:49amumm, Halliburton has a contract to build detainee centres
*within* the US. To hold something like
5,000 people.
Guantanamo won't be needed....
Naturally, the common people don't want war, but they can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. Tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and endangering the country. It works the same in every country

It is relevant that in 2002, Attorney General John
Ashcroft announced his desire to see camps for U.S.
citizens deemed to be "enemy combatants." On Feb. 17 of
this year, in a speech to the Council on Foreign Relations,
Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld spoke of the harm being
done to the country's security, not just by the enemy,
but also by what he called "news informers" who needed
to be combated in "a contest of wills." Two days earlier,
citing speeches critical of Bush by Al Gore, John Kerry,
and Howard Dean, conservative columnist Ben Shapiro
called for "legislation to prosecute such sedition."
