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
honour badges
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
violations
ok boys and girls?
The Justice Department?
Said its ok because
Guantanamo Bay Detention Camp
is our sneaky hidy-hole
outside U.S. legal jurisdiction!
Fuhrer Reich
Chancellor Bush
declared detainees;
were not allowed
not allowed
any protections
under humane
Geneva Conventions!
January 11,2002
the first twenty
prisoners arrived
ghost prisoners
held in hall of shame.
June 29,2006
the U.S. Supreme Court
ruled in Hamdan v. Rumsfeld;
prisoners are entitled
to minimal protections
listed under
Common Article 3
Geneva Conventions.
July 7,2006

in the future;
are entitled to protection

President Barack Obama
suspends proceedings of
Guantanamo
military commission
for 120 days
detention facility
to be shut down
within the year.
But oh dear
to date
its still there!
May 20,2009
United States Senate
block funds;
needed to transfer
release prisoners
held at
Guantanamo Bay
detention camp.
November,2009

remained
at Guantanamo Bay
detention camp.
December 15,2009
President Barack Obama
Presidential Memorandum;
orders preparation of
Thomson Correctional Center
in Thomson Illinois
to prepare for transferred
Guantanamo prisoners.
The first ammendment
protects the rights
of citizens individuals;
but not at the expense
of national security.
There is no greater
singular unity
of purpose;
than protecting
homeland security.
Three gangsters
international bully boys
Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld;
create an illegal US prison
unique overwhelming
in untried innocence.
The Definitive List
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
as a result of
dubious intelligence;
or sold for
bounty payments!
The Motown
Supremes
sang with
greater integrity
unity of purpose.
January,2010
198 Guantanamo Bay
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!

Judged By The Company We Keep
There are multiple proverbs
wise sayings implying
we are judged by the company
we keep; which implies
our friendships those we associate
with; are considered
character indicators which reflect
negatively or positively
upon credibility of our character.
A case in point an example
‘Birds of a feather flock together.’
Meaning people who are similar
with similar aims goals interests
backgrounds tend to congregate
together in friendship or common
necessity; sharing the same feather;
shared common characteristics is
common denominator glue binding
agent; sustaining interactive identity.
The mystery the spice the intrigue
is dynamics of mix sustaining such
group identities in shared interests.
Associating with esteemed company
implies basking within their radiance
popularity social advantages of light.
‘Tar with the same brush’ is to believe
wrongly that individuals groups share
the same faults unaccepted bad qualities.
Once in extreme cases of prejudice
a person or several individuals might
have been punished with the application
of a coat of tar and feathers; if the entire
body was covered coated in hot hate;
blocking all the pores of the skin; and
could not be removed in time; death resulted.
‘tarred with the same brush’ implies judgement
to punish to criticize severely and devastatingly.
The injustice humiliation of McCarthyism
an era of ‘reds under the bed’ witch hunts
is a political example of persecution bigotry
state policy denying accused right of appeal.
Kinda like political practice for Guantanamo Bay.
January 2002 interrogation sessions by Tiger Teams
military intelligence officers; earnest FBI CIA agents
interrogating prisoners of war from the Afghan war
kept in animal chain-link cages in Camp X-Ray.
Progress by the end of 2003 permanent steel cages
replaced chain-link animal cages in Camp X-Ray.
CIA deluxe accommodation in Camp Echo, a dozen
single-story concrete-block huts, divided in half, a
steel cage, a shit house, a table for interrogations,
torture of high-value military targets in their own cell.
The CIA's Camp Echo Hotel Hilton in Cuba, is 'off-
limits to nearly everyone' at Gitmo Guantanamo Bay.
CIA 'ghost detainees' originate in places like Pakistan,
West Africa, Yemen and under a presidential directive;
the CIA is encouraged to capture hold suspects without
publicly; revealing their treatment accounting for them.
CIA detention facilities were historically located
on ships at sea, at the off-limits corner of Bagram
air base in Afghanistan and Britain's Diego Garcia
island in the Indian Ocean. The CIA needs facilities
in an isolated prison hidden from sensitive prying
international politics. Gitmo secures secrecy need.

Guantanamo allows us to secure dangerous detainees without the risk of escape, while at the same time providing us with valuable intelligence information on how best to proceed in the war against terror and prevent future attacks.
The Bald Eagle Has Broken The Geneva Convention
Only a monster could observe
naked suffering of concentration
extermination camps and not thank
God for liberation closing of this crime.
A crime inditing systematic political indifference
to a horrific crime perpetrated against humanity.
Only a monster could observe
calculated humiliation human rights
abuses torture violation of international
law Geneva Conventions and not pray closure.
International law for humanitarian treatment of
victims of war as 90% in Guantanamo proved to be.
Fact! The Geneva Convention agreements of 1949
negotiated in the aftermath of World War II updated
the terms of the first three treaties and added a fourth.
Fact! Articles defined the basic rights of those captured
during a military conflict, establishing protections for
the wounded, and addressing protections for civilians.
“The treaties of 1949 were ratified, in whole or with
reservations, by 194 countries” including the USA Mr Bush.
Placing Guantanamo outside the United States to avoid
violating American laws, while deliberately violating
international law, and Geneva Conventions, sends a strong
message to the free world; spelling out meaning of Bush
new world order, and foolish contempt of world opinion.
Arrogant is a word, reserved for illegal, fuel war in Iraq.
When deliberately targeting infrastructure, hospitals
electricity water schools, non-military targets, a word
for the wise. This does not win hearts and minds, but
individuals; communities, governments, nations
globally, observe infrastructure is deliberately
destroyed; selection fixed to suppress control demoralize.
Soon such policies Guantanamo abuses
are compared to a few little sentences
Mr Bush Pentagon staff should have read.
Protected persons are entitled, in all circumstances, to respect for their persons, their honour, their family rights, their religious convictions and practices, and their manners and customs. They shall at all times be humanely treated, and shall be protected especially against all acts of violence or threats thereof and against insults and public curiosity. Women shall be especially protected against any attack on their honour, in particular against rape, enforced prostitution, or any form of indecent assault. Without prejudice to the provisions relating to their state of health, age and sex, all protected persons shall be treated with the same consideration by the Party to the conflict in whose power they are, without any adverse distinction based, in particular, on race, religion or political opinion. However, the Parties to the conflict may take such measures of control and security in regard to protected persons as may be necessary as a result of the war.
Human dignity civilization decrees certain codes of conduct
are to be respected, by civilized nations, Mr George W. Bush.
You might want to consider the wording of the Third Geneva
Convention, relative to Treatment of Prisoners of War (1929) .
And the Fourth Geneva Convention, relative to the Protection of
Civilian Persons, in Time of War (1949) for policy violations.
Cause maybe your proudly worded war on terror, is perceived
as a symbol of America's indiscriminate abuse of Muslims,
maybe its fanning the flames, of anti-Americanism around the
world; maybe its Al-Qaida’s best global recruiting advertisement;
maybe your policies Mr Bush, are a threat to national security,
maybe closing schools libraries building prisons; is a bad idea.
Remember when you loved Al-Qaida, trained them, gave them,
Weapons; to fight the Russians, you feared for all those years?
Maybe giving them a few hospitals, schools, as a small token
of appreciation, instead of abandoning them; to poverty would
have been good policy, instead of making them next enemy?
But then America has committed, no Grave breaches, of the
Geneva Convention, has it? “Not all violations of the treaty
are treated equally.” “The most serious crimes are termed
grave breaches, and provide a legal definition of a war crime.”
“Grave breaches of the Third and Fourth Geneva Conventions
include the following acts if committed against a(ny) person
protected by the convention: willful killing, torture or inhuman
treatment... willfully causing great suffering or serious injury
to body or health willfully depriving one of the right to a fair trial”
Oh dear Al-Qaida is entitled to a fair trial, after only nine years?
Oh dear snap snap snap! But warfare has changed dramatically!
Nope! The Geneva Conventions of 1949 are “considered the
cornerstone of contemporary International Humanitarian Law.”
The Geneva Conventions of 1949 protects
Al-Qaida combatants, who are hors de combat,
outside the fight, held in the power of an adverse
Party; that would be America! It protects Iraqi
Civilians, caught up in de zone of war. These
treaties are valid, for all recent international,
armed conflicts, including the War in Afghanistan
(2001–present) , the 2003 invasion of Iraq, and the
continuing subsequent occupation of oil oil oil. Oh
dear Mr Bush, let me explain this; your policies are
apparently evidently, a threat to the nation of America’s
national security interest; and you have been charged
with serious war crimes. Look up the charges posted
against you on the internet. In war you are the terror!
You have been charged with crimes against humanity!
Your not above common law, International Law, or God’s
Law! Judgment comes to all men, all nations in due time!
International good will, was once a prized, playing card!

Human-rights advocates, for example, claim that the mistreatment of Iraqi prisoners is of a piece with President Bush's 2002 decision to deny al Qaeda and Taliban fighters the legal status of prisoners of war under the Geneva Conventions.
The Justices are currently considering a case, argued last month, which seeks to extend the writ of habeas corpus to al Qaeda and Taliban detainees at Guantanamo.
I mean, the people who run Guantanamo, the military, pretty much dismiss complaints by the detainees because they say that they're all created as part of a political process to sort of fake complaints and get public support.

Since January 2002, when the United States began detaining at Guantanamo Bay enemy combatants captured in Afghanistan, Iraq, and other fronts in the war on terror, critics have complained of human rights abuses.

Guantanamo Prisoners
It’s clear, Bush cadre position
Detaining prisoners without trial
Re instituted Spanish Inquisition
With malice Muslim’s faith defile
George it’s time to show veracity
Come clean, admit your errors
Let go your nonsensical tenacity
Admit your war’s the only terror
Swing wide Guantanamo gates
Allow all prisoners to go home
Let go of lies, foolish debates
Stop playing Emperor of Rome
Please pray your soul redeem
Regain an absent self-esteem

Let me say this: I believe closing Guantanamo is in our Nation's national security interest. Guantanamo is used not only by al-Qaida, but also by other nations, governments, and individuals - people good and bad - as a symbol of America's abuse of Muslims, and it is fanning the flames of anti-Americanism around the world.

Yesterday I, along with a bipartisan Congressional Delegation of lawmakers, inspected the detention facilities at Guantanamo used to house individuals detained in the War on Terrorism.
The Democrats in the Senate adopted a resolution, an amendment, saying that there should be no Guantanamo detainees brought into this country. So, more and more, we're finding the American people on one side, the ACLU and the troglodytes from the New York Times on the other, where they belong.

Come around
Listen in
Settle down
Hear the sound
Of the maimed and the missing
Of Guantanamo
Think of yesterday

Victor Jara and Emmett Till
Will help you watch
new fingers break
Under boots of Goodyear Rubber
At Guantanamo
The kidnapped and the maimed
The punished and the tortured
suicide and murder
we leave all this and more
for our children to redeem
In Guantanamo
And, in fact, there is a connection, the people who designed this here program and who implement it are the same people who are overseeing and helping in the interrogations of detainees in places like Guantanamo.

If anyone has it rough at Guantanamo, it is the guards. They are constantly harassed and threatened by some of these terrorists. Prisoners tell guards, we know where your families are. We know where your wife is, your children, and we are going to kill them.

American soldiers had to guard prisoners on the inside while receiving mortar and weapons fire from the outside. Guantanamo is distant from any battlefield, making it far more secure.
If people around the world knew how well people at Guantanamo Bay are treating prisoners, they would not fall prey to the accusations that some in our Chamber are making. They are all receiving judicial review.

forcing tortured suspects to swallow heinous bush crime cruelty
forcing citizen clone people to swallow heinous bush policy
torturous might is right torture is bush legacy crime cruelty
victims drowning under control conditions without mercy
agony drowning once traumatic struggle military preliminary
agony drowning cells dying fighting denied life breath humility

torture of the innocent wins hearts minds of good people globally?
