Free Credit Repair - Close GITMO and End Military Commissions

Close GITMO and End Military Commissions

Back

Sign the petition: http://closegitmo.com We have the chance to help President-elect Obama reclaim democracy and restore the rule of law in our country, which he can do on his first day in office. By shutting down the notorious Guantanamo Bay prison facility, Obama can take a major step toward redeeming our nation's moral leadership in the world. And by ending unconstitutional military commissions and banning torture, he can cut ties with the highly controversial Bush era of national security. We must seize this critical moment to end the abuses that the Bush administration has perpetrated for the past eight years. That's why we partnered with the ACLU to bring to you our newest video. This is the first in a series of videos underscoring the urgent need to close GITMO and end unconstitutional military commissions. We urge you to sign the petition and ensure that the human rights violations at GITMO never occur again. Then send this video to your friends and ask them to sign up as well. The ACLU is taking this campaign even further by hosting an open Town Hall Meeting tonight at 8pm ET, when people from all across the country will gather via teleconference to discuss the state of civil liberties in our country. Take part in this important conversation, and help President-elect Obama take decisive action to close GITMO.

What if these POOR detainees put your son against a wall and shot him? At least they will get a trial of sorts before they hang them.

Besides, the UN makes excuses for jihadists and other terrorists.

Agreed. The entire secret rendition prison system needs to be shut down.

read "Lone Survivor" by former US Navy SEAL Marcus Luttrell this is the kinda crap that got those 19 soldiers killed and unconstitutional? how about Obama running for president with all the evidence pointing to the fact that he is constitutionally ineligible

The only evidence for your baseless reasoning is sheer tinfoil mania.

Even if you were to be given a sentence and proven innocent, you would still have to sent back to Guantanamo. It is horrible that this is happening, but it is the sad truth. America - truly the land of the free?

Don't forget Romania. That's where the really bad CIA-run ones were. UN "peacekeepers", IE - foreign troops, are regularly sent into sovereign lands. There, they have diplomatic immunity, and have been known to RAPE civilians. This while they decry rape camps in other countries. UN Officials steal millions in foreign aid. It's wrought with scandal. And yet they decry corrupt governments elsewhere. There's a distinct double standard, that includes the US. Our torture camps seem OK to them.

Plus, the UN won't put Israel on the Human Rights COmmission. But they'll gladly give seats to Syria, Zimbabwe, China, and Vietnam.

mixmatosis (Sunday 21st of December 2008 04:39:16 AM)

Hmmm that's probably because of Israel's shocking human rights record.

StoogeWatcher (Sunday 21st of December 2008 08:46:12 AM)

As I have said, you hypocrites pick on Israel, but you say nothing about Robert Mugabe turning a once-beautiful Rhodesia into the hellhole known as Zimbabwe. You "human rights" people say NOTHING about the persecution of Copts in Egypt or Maronites of Lebanon. You show no outrage when Iran stones women and kills homosexuals.
