Close Guantanamo Bay
The Attorney General, Lord Goldsmith, has called for the closure of the US Guantanamo Bay. He is reported to have serious doubts about whether the indefinite detention of “enemy combatants” - as they are known - is legal or fair.
I never expected to agree with lord something but I’m glad he said what he said. The whole case with Guantanamo is embarrassing for every thinking democrat. How can you preach democracy, fair justice and equal rights when you have a place like Guantanamo?
This temple of “Bushism” in the name of ‘protecting our values’ makes all westerners look so sad and guilty of a crime equal to the one blamed every little dictator, using methods regimes like the Iranian is using.
Fair justice for all and everybody has the right of defense is part of our constitutions and both died behind the wires that surround Guantanamo. So this thing must disappear for ever.
