...today is the 10th anniversary of the activation of Guantanamo Bay Prison (AKA "Gitmo")?
"They'll be staging a series of peaceful protests that will involve sit-ins with signs and banners in the part of the prison that has communal areas as well as hunger strikes," says Ramzi Kassem, counsel to a number of Guantánamo prisoners.
Also, in Washington DC today, there are demonstrators wearing orange jumpsuits standing in solidarity with these prisoners.
The fact that, on his first day in office, Obama promised that Guantanamo would be closed but he has never taken action to follow through will forever be a blot on his culturally-enlightening legacy, whether or not he's a one-termer.
Didn't know. It's embarrassing that America goes on and on about justice and being guilty until proven innocent when they have Guantanamo. They should be ashamed.
