I reported a few days ago about the 34 men and women who protested against our legal black hole... Guantanamo... outside the U. S. Supreme Court. It was a peaceful protest. These people were trying to bring to the attention of the sleeping masses a serious crime that is going on in our name. Since the Supreme Court is our only institution listening this was clearly the most appropriate place for these individuals to express their frustration with our lawless administration.
80 were arrested and 34 stood trial. These individuals represented themselves without attorneys so they could have the opportunity to speak to the court about the injustice at Guantanamo. They were found guilty. Many have or will spend some time in jail....
These men and women did what they did because they were unable to continue to sit out what is happening to our country... and to the men being held illegally at guantanamo.
Click on the title to read the story of one of those individuals...
And again, to those of you who put your own liberty at risk to bring attention to those being held at Guantanamo and elsewhere... without charge, without trial, without recourse...
I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
