Today marks Guantanamo's 6000th day and there are no signs of our gulag closing anytime soon.
My remaining client, Razak Ali, is one of the 40 men still stuck in this nightmare and he will start his 17th year at the gulag on tuesday. I am at a loss for words.
Maybe next week on his "anniversary" I will find something meaningful to say.
Until then, read:
The talking dog

close guantanamo
Shaker Aamer who was finally released in 2015 has these words to say on the 6000th anniversary of the opening of Gitmo:
"Tell Donald Trump:
As long as Guantanamo is open, America will never be great again.
And as long as America is committing injustice, America will never be great
again.
And as long as America has military posts all over the world, America will
never be great again.
And as long as America is supporting and helping dictators all over the world,
America will never be great again."
I think it is fair to say that America will not be great again for a long time....
