I, Moazzam Begg, Demand to Be Freed From Guantanamo
To those who feel we are fighting a war on terror and doing it well, I say, readMoazzam Begg's letter.
Is this what we're fighting for? To imprison a man for two and a half years without his even knowing what he is supposed to have done?
Without his even knowing the charges against him! All he knows is that someone, somewhere thinks he is a "terrorist". But he may not know who accuses him or why. Kafka could not write this; he would have thought it too extreme.
Is this who we are? In a month this fucker Cheney will be returned to power.
How many must die? How many must be caged? How many before you and I say no, no, I believe we are more than this?
Moazzam Begg should be freed from Guantanamo. Our ancestors forced their rulers to end arbitrary detention and to produce the interned on demand in a court. But there is no habeas corpus for Mr Begg or his family if we will not demand it on his and their behalf.
Vote Kerry. Fuck the policies, the debates, the ins and outs of it. Don't let these shitheads have any more rope to hang us with.
Vote Latham. Show each one of them that we will not support what they do in our name.
*gulp* Vote anyone but Blair. Palmerston would not have stood for it. A British citizen held without trial!
I, Dr Zen, demand that Begg is freed from Guantanamo.
