Beyond Gitmo

The Center for Constitutional Rights brought the first Guantánamo case more than five years ago. This fall, CCR will again represent Guantánamo detainees before the Supreme Court to demand their right to know why they are being held.[Link]

Help Put this Ad in Bush's Bedroom!

While President Bush might not read our Supreme Court legal brief or listen to the arguments in next week's case, he'll probably watch the coverage on Fox News. So we've prepared a hard-hitting commercial to show during the O'Reilly Factor. Film star and activist Danny Glover narrates a 30-second video that depicts the shredding of our Constitution.

We need your help to put it on the air in Washington, D.C. - in Bush's backyard and in his bedroom.Can you help? Please make a contribution of $20 (or more if you can) to get the ad aired on the O'Reilly Factor so we can get our message across without being interrupted! If we raise more than we need, we'll take it to other shows like The Countdown with Keith Olbermann, too.[Donate]

Friday’s Menu Special: Honey-glazed Chicken served over Rice Pilaf

I don’t know if anyone caught last night’s GOP presidential debate from New Hampshire on Fox. Personally, I have better things to do with my time such as: getting a root canal rather than listening to these clowns drone on about “who is tougher on terrorists.” But I have to give it up to our own 52nd Congressional Representative, Duncan Hunter. In response to a question from Wendell Goler regarding the treatment of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay and their indefinite detention:

The last time I looked at the menu, they had honey-glazed chicken and rice pilaf on Friday. That's how we treat the terrorists.

They've got health care that's better than most HMOs. And they got something else that no Democrat politician in America has: They live in a place called Guantanamo, where not one person has ever been murdered. And there's not one politician, one Democrat politician in America, that can say that about one of the prisons in his home district. We've got to keep Guantanamo open.

Hey Duncan you forgot to mention that there are no Labor Day drunken beach riots there either!
