Close Guantanamo Prison

In the hopes the bushbaby might listen finally if the whole world petitions him directly, check out this short petition from avaaz.org calling for immediate closure of the lawless prison in Guantánamo.

Here, the text of the petition:

Petition to US President Bush: We call upon US President Bush to close Guantanamo Bay prison forever. Every detainee should be charged with a crime and tried in a legitimate court or immediately released. We further call on President Bush to respect international law and basic human rights in the handling of all current and future prisoners in US custody.

Here, a link for you to sign the petition online:
