Bush's Immoral, Illegal Incarcerations Rebuked Again!

I remember when this country was admired and a shining beacon of justice for all the world. When we didn't eviscerate the constitution based on fear and a fake war on terror that doesn't exist. When we didn't torture, wiretap, kidnap, murder and imprison people without charges or an attorney. 

According to the Associated Press: today;

Twenty retired federal judges, two rear admirals and a Marine general joined 383 current or former members of the European and British parliaments on Friday in urging the Supreme Court to grant detainees at Guantanamo Bay full access to the U.S. court system.

The 383 European politicians of divergent political views said it is important that even when faced with the threat of international terrorism, all states, including the United States, comply with the standards set by international humanitarian law and human rights law by granting full court access.

"The treatment of petitioners currently falls short of these standards," the European diplomats said.
