My legislation would cut off all funding for trials of anyone from Guantanamo in any court in the United States of America. This bill would help stop the misguided plan to put Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and other 9/11 terrorists on trial in Downtown Manhattan.

Blind Justice And The Godfather
The United States
Supreme Court
lacks creditable
determinable
unity of purpose.
Guantanamo Bay
is a geographical
miscarriage of justice.
Guantanamo Bay
sanctioned sanitized
political spin styled military;
‘is a detainment facility
of the United States
located in (Castro) Cuba.’
The Boy Scouts

ran summer camps
detainment areas
three Gitmo resorts
Camp Delta/ Echo
Camp Iguana but
Camp X-Ray was;
closed due to naughty
torture techniques
that’s human rights

The Justice Department?
Said its ok because
Guantanamo Bay Detention Camp
is our sneaky hidy-hole
outside U.S. legal jurisdiction!

to prepare for transferred

There is no greater

The Guantánamo Files
history has proven to date;
‘at least 93 percent
of the 779 men and boys
imprisoned in total’
were completely
innocent people!
Or Taliban foot soldiers
fighting an internal
inter-Muslim civil war;
with no connection to
Osama bin Laden, al-Qaeda
or international terrorism!
A war that started long
before the terrorist attacks
of September 11,2001.
Prisoners seized

dubious intelligence;
or sold for
bounty payments!
The Motown

prisoners remained?
What future for the untried?
January 25,2010
Guantanamo Detainee
Review Task Force
is recommending...
nearly 50 detainees
be held indefinitely
without charge!
Washington Post claims
task force determined
Gitmo prisoners;
facing indefinite detention
are too dangerous
catch twenty-two
too dangerous
to be released;
not enough evidence
for a criminal trial.
Wow nine years on
the panel recommends
35 prisoners be brought;
to the U.S. to face military
or civilian fair trials!
Attorney General Eric Holder
‘decided five will be tried in
New York federal court;
for their alleged roles in
the 2001 terror attacks’!
Six to be tried by military commissions
Thomson Correctional Center
will likely house terrorism-era detainees!
Their crimes?
Allegedly spent time
at al Qaeda training;
camps in Afghanistan
prior to the 9/11 attacks!
Luckily being a marine
or a navy seal is not a crime
but linked to Taliban is!
Held without due process is legal?
In the Land of the Free
where imprisonment is double;
the next country at number two.
America has gotta be number one!
And our winners in our
State Lottery are Task Force (zap zap)
divided into three groups
‘35 who should be prosecuted (fair trial?)
in federal or military courts’ (yea 9 years ago)
‘110 who can be released, (pardon the yawn)
either immediately or eventually’ (no hurry)
‘50 who must be detained without trial’
Apparently Gitmo detainees
‘perhaps others suspected
terrorists and war fighters
taken into U.S. custody
will now have a difficult
time challenging
their detention.’
No shit! Really?
‘Guantanamo Bay detainees
officially have limited rights in court
and presidential war powers to detain;
suspected terrorists trump the
international law of war.’
‘Officials said the detainees
cleared for release
will be repatriated or transferred to;
other countries for
possible release? ’
Is this the way we fight the war,
fight the war fight the war,
fight the war, on terrorism?
When you declare war
on words apparently it is
however it is not the way;
to win hearts and minds
to a just honourable cause!
Could it be said
the world’s policeman
has over stepped;
the boundary
of his jurisdiction?
That a few statutes
of liberty
have been transgressed?
Empire America
no longer fears
divine retribution;
God was outlawed
in public places!
Oh modern Babaylon
the Great, once so admired,
the eagle is falling;
the writing is on the wall
or on Wall Street?
Repent of your Hubris Oh America
‘M’ne! M’ne! T’kel ufarsin P’res’
‘ME’NE, ME’NE, TE’KEL, PAR’SIN’
This writing is not yet written on your wall!

Miss America
You were the apple of the publics eye as you cut the ribbon at the local mall
A mirage for both you and us. how can it be real?
We love your body in that photograph, your home state sure must be proud
The queen of the united states, or have you lost your crown
Well arent you miss america
Dont you miss america
Wont you miss america
Our love
Well are you really who we think you are
Or does your smile seem to wear you down
Is the girl who you once were screaming jump out
And the dream that you must live - a disease for which there is no cure
This roller coaster ride youre on wont stop to let you off
Well arent you miss america
Dont you miss america
Wont you miss america
Our love
Miss america, miss america
Miss america, miss america
Well its true just take a look - the cover sometimes makes the book
And the judges, do they ever ask to read between your lines
In your cage at the human zoo, they all stop to look at you
Next year, what will you do when you have been forgotten
Well arent you miss america
Dont you miss america
Wont you miss america
