Guantanamo Bay, Cuba
Over 600 prisoners are still being held there, in limbo, new ones arriving regularly.
No rights, no lawyers, no outcry from mainstream America.
After all, their president said "The only thing we know for certain is that these are bad people", Donald Rumsfeld called them "very tough, hardcore, well-trained terrorists".
Well, on Friday, the USA again released some prisoners, about 30 of these "evil" men.
Sixteen were sent to Afghanistan, eleven to Pakistan.
These men were all declared innocent by the US government.
So, this is it, then, you keep people imprisoned for about two years, some in wire cages, with virtually no rights, with a military court and death penalty hanging over their heads.... and at the end of it you ship them off to wherever and release them? So they can once again be endlessly interrogated by their own governments???
That is it.... hell, no bloody way!!! That isnt right!!!
If there is a legal fund for these people, I want to know. I want to contribute. I think they at least deserve some monetary compensation for all they had to live through!!! Let them sue the American government for acting so completely outside of their own laws, let alone international law. If they act like a rogue state, they should be held accountable.
Stealing two years of a person's life is not okay, it will NEVER be okay!!
