That Gitmo Suicide thingy just is buggin' me...

So I found the following...and am reposting it here. How sad that the only "justice" is suicide at Guantanemo. It is now THREE YEARS LATER AND I WAS REPORTING ABOUT PEOPLE ALREADY IN PRISON WITHOUT CHARGE FOR OVER A YEAR...THEN.

My letter to the LA Times editor printed today.
They didn’t change a word that I wrote, and only added a couple to explain the reference.

“Re “Justices Question Denial of Hearings for Detainees,” April 29: Deputy Solicitor Gen. Paul D. Clement’s stance that suspected terrorists need not be set free even if the government did not yet have evidence of a crime is profoundly disturbing, an obvious abuse of government power and flies in the face of the US Constitution. What happened to the rule of law? Innocent until proven guilty? Right to counsel? Are police agencies to arrest anyone who may ever commit a crime, but haven’t yet?

President Bush and his cronies have clearly abused the human rights of American citizens detained indefinitely for supposedly being “enemy combatants”. . This is actual evidence of Bush’s criminal activity, not just a suspicion of future crime.

Perhaps he should be detained and sent to Guantanamo as well. I feel terrorized by this administration; they are more dangerous than any terrorist organization.”
