Here’s a story first read on the Reprieve web site that is not only disturbing in itself but even more disturbing that it exposes the Obama Administration as being, in it’s approach to openness and transparency at least, just as corrupt as the Bush regime.
The first 100 days of Mr Obama’s term in office is a unique opportunity for America to reclaim its role as a leader for human rights. In February Amnesty International will present a global petition to President Obama. It will urge the US Administration to establish an independent commission to investigate abuses committed by the US Government in its “war on terror”.
That is seven years of torture, ill treatment, and detention without proper charge or trial. Today there are still over 250 prisoners inside, all of whom are facing an uncertain future.
President elect Barack Obama promised to close Guantánamo – HOLD HIM TO IT! please sign the petition.
