Shut down the Guantanamo Bay Detention Facility.
We urge you join us in a nationwide campaign and petition drive to shut down the Guantanamo Bay Detention Facility. The campaign is a project of VoteNoWar. Org which was the largest grassroots peoples referendum opposing the launch of the Iraq war. The goal of the campaign is to ignite a mass movement of the people of the United States and around the world to close Guantanamo and all the secret prisons and torture centers set up around the world by the Bush administration.

Why not charge them and give them a trial?
When the president talks to God
Do they drink near beer and go play golf
While they pick which countries to invade
Which Muslim souls still can be saved?
I guess god just calls a spade a spade

Why not charge them and give them a trial? We cannot expect to lead others to the fruits of constitutional democracy if we don't adhere to its standards.

Dude if they are being forced to watch barney and friends i'll bomb you guys myself.. NOBODY i mean NOBODY should EVER be exposed to that abomination *shudder*

and yeah Gitmo should be closed cuz the us aint making ANY friends because of it. It makes the mullahs stronger because the average muslim assumes the US is gonna put him in Gitmo if it gets the chance.

This is just the practical reason.. the real reason would be the geneva convention, but i doubt there are any takers there

Before anybody starts, Saudi Arabia consistently breaks the Geneva convention in NUMEROUS ways. Since the US does nothing about them, it seems pretty clear that no heed is given to human rights as long as you keep giving oil.

Back to the point at hand... Gitmo is illegal by all norms of international law.. If the US invokes the concept of international law only when it serves their interest, people are just gonna stop taking the US seriously... and to be honest slowly they are.. we can't stop the US from invading iraq.. but we can have a good giggle over the mess they land themselves in and deplete their own resources.
Love for all, Hatred for none
