Feeling safe?
Interesting article on the Guardian website today taking a critcal look at Guantánamo Bay, now facing it’s 5th brithday.
“Human rights have been traded away in Guantánamo in the hope of gaining security, and it has not worked. One of the US’s founding fathers, Thomas Jefferson, stated: “He who trades liberty for security deserves neither and will lose both.” Adorned on the walls of the Guantánamo camp is its mission statement: “Honour-bound to defend freedom”. After five years of Guantánamo, do you feel any safer?”
Hell no.
