This is a post to mourn for our oppressed brothers and sisters stuck in Guamtanomo Bay. Camp X-ray has two interesting signs on the chain link fence: one about how we are fighting for freedom, and another warning 'No Pictures Allowed'. Hmmm, what does freedom mean at the point we are fighting to destroy what freedom should or actually does mean?
The kind of torture happening down there is the kind 90% of Americans would be abhorred by. That is why we don't get to hear or see any of it. There have been court cases saying that U.S. citizens do not get the protection of the Constituion. In every time of war, our rights have been taken away by powerful elites who want to further their business agenda under the banner of "national security" (a phrase that means absolutely nothing). A peice of paper means absolutely nothing because whoever has the power makes the rules unless we stop them.
One of the biggest story everyday should be that we have torture camps holding people who know have no links to Al-Qaeda but we know releasing them would be terrible because they would tell others what is going on. The news media should run a sotry on this every day.
