Today in Boulder, Colorado there will be a rally to "Close Guantanamo" which is sponsored by the ACLU-Colorado from noon to 2 p.m, in front of the Boulder County Court House.
GitMo is a legal blackhole that the Bush administration has used to keep prisoners of war away from the legal system.
GitMo is used by the Bush administration for legal games of "who has jurisdiction" with judges in the United States and Cuba.
GitMo is an illegal interrogation camp run by the U.S. military.
GitMo has prisoners who have been subjected to torture.
GitMo has had medical doctors who were willing to break their Hippocratic Oath and work to ensure more effective torture methods.
GitMo has made the United States Declaration of Independence a joke because it is the very embodiment of all that is contrary to the ideals within that call to freedom.
It is time to close GitMo and all of the "black" prison camps around the world that is operated or condoned by the U.S. military and intelligence agencies.
It is time for an objective commission to assess the state of prisoners that were captured by coalition forces in Iraq, Afghanistan and to those who were "extraordinarily renditioned" to those camps by U.S. military and intelligence agencies or by foreign military and intelligence agencies who cooperated with them.
Justice must begin now.
