“I’m still waiting for Obama to shut Guantanamo or return his 2009 Nobel Peace Prize”

Brian J.: The problem is that nobody seems to want those prisoners from Guantanamo.

Ignorance is Strength When Thinking About Obama’s Position on Guantanamo Bay

“I’m fighting so hard to shut down Guantanamo Bay; so hard, in fact, that we’re gonna upgrade it! (The Telegraph: ‘Pentagon plans $40m fiber optic cable from Guantanamo Bay to US mainland’)”

Our Rights as Human Beings Are Also “Indefinite Detainees” at Guantanamo Bay

The following correspondence originally took place upon my Facebook wall, after I posted artwork being shared by the page, “Truth Be Known“…

Rayn:

“Indefinite detainees at Guantanamo: Due Process, Right to a Fair & Speedy Trial, American Rights & Liberties, U.S. Image”

Allison H.: Sad, but true…

Rayn: “In as much as you have done it to one of the least of my brethren, you have done it unto me.” Most don’t understand the true gravity of these words.

The U.S. military hopes to install a $40 million underwater fiber-optic cable that could improve communications at Guantanamo Bay, a military official said Thursday.

The goal is to bring the infrastructure of the naval base up to par with other government agencies, said Army Lt. Col. Todd Breasseale, a spokesman for the Guantanamo military commissions.

Currently, the base relies on a single satellite for its communications system.

My Commentary: Don’t worry, though! According to Army Lt. Col. Todd Breasseale, a spokesman for the Guantanamo military commissions, “the cable project is meant to serve the naval station for years to come and is not an indication that the detention center, which currently holds 169 detainees, will remain open indefinitely.” Nothing to see here, folks! Move along!
