hello out there in cyber land…  moral of the following story… don’t hold your breath

OBAMA said Guantanamo …  would be closed… and now?

umm… still open

And all these innocent people that they detained in Guantanamo because there was no screening process!~

FROM THE BBC

“But the files show that US military analysts considered only 220 of those ever detained at Guantanamo to be dangerous extremists.

They include Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the alleged mastermind of the 9/11 attacks on the US, and Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, a Saudi accused of planning the 2000 bombing of the destroyer USS Cole in Yemen.

Another 380 detainees were deemed to be low-ranking guerrillas.

At least 150 people were revealed to be innocent Afghans or Pakistanis – including drivers, farmers and chefs – rounded up during intelligence gathering operations in the aftermath of 9/11.

The detainees were then held for years owing to mistaken identity or because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time, the memos say. In many cases, US commanders concluded there was “no reason recorded for transfer”.

  • Sami al-Hajj, a Sudanese cameraman for al-Jazeera, was held for six years, partly so he could be questioned about the Arabic news network
  • Abdul Badr Mannan, an author, was considered high risk, but his files states US officials may have been “misled” by the Pakistani security services
  • Mukhibullo Abdukarimovich Umarov, a Tajik man, was arrested in Karachi in 2002 and spent almost two years at Guantanamo before being released – his assessment says the reasons for detaining him were “undetermined”
  • Haji Faiz Mohammed was arrested in Afghanistan aged 70 and is described as having senile dementia – his file states there is “no reason on record” for being transferred
  • Naqib Ullah, aged about 14 when he was arrested, spent a year in Guantanamo but his file states he had been kidnapped by the Taliban and presented no threat to the US.”
today’s democracy now has a great interview on it..
 THANK YOU WIKILEAKS!

yeah we got wildlife

dirty pigeons

for sale trannies

we got lotsa money for wars

but none for the kid(dies)

the bus breaksdown

people b screamin’

‘bout dirty ol’men

thinkin they treat ladies

like the rappers do

but this lady behind me

aint havin’ it

and the man

right to my left

whispering about her, another lady, and him in the middle

shinning half closed eyes and slippery jaws

colt jolts as as as

& she throws him

on the street                        CRAAPHOOO

all 63 yrs with his

state prison walkman

& dirty clothes

stumbling pennies

on the sidewalk

the sun shivering in a diesel

haze

her bleached orange hair in waves

“I gotta job, whatta you got?”

flies from her glossy lips as she jumps and spits

screamin “you’re tooold to be a babby daddy!”

eyeballs vibrating

phwoo phwa phwee sho

points her finger @ the clock above

the clouds

long and light black

straightens her shirt

& follows the trail

of trampled colorless passengers

to the next stop

to get back on

unlike Jaime

who’s breathing machines &

tubes & broken heart

pumps

stopped 2day

even moms die
