you damn well better believe that you want a watchdog for human rights...today, amnesty international will observe the military trial of omar khadr at guantánamo bay...labeled an "enemy combatant", khadr was only 15 when detained, making him the first minor to be tried for alleged war crimes in the western world...
prosecutors claim khadr was a complicit "terrorist" since he was 10 years old -- can you imagine your 10 year old on trial at guantanamo???
the sham system of "justice" at guantánamo allows the possibility that evidence obtained through waterboarding, otherwise known as torture, could be used to convict...torture is wrong and will not make us safer...
the house has already voted to restrict the use of waterboarding and other forms of torture, and the senate will vote on this measure in the next few weeks...
peace out <3
