Reuters Thu Apr 6, 7:45 PM ET GUANTANAMO BAY U.S. NAVAL BASE, Cuba - An Ethiopian prisoner called his Guantanamo war crimes tribunal a con on Thursday and said that after four years of interrogations, the U.S. military had not even managed to learn the correct spelling of his name.
Comment: Feel safer now? What if instead of Binyam Mohammad, it was you or your child that was detained, tortured, and tried in a kangaroo court? If the American people continue to remain too silent about the highly illegal actions of the Bush admiminstration, it will be you or your child. You can take that to the bank.
And if you think that being a US citizen will protect you, see the following flashback. |

ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER April 6, 2006 Four accused of plotting to kill classmates at South Jersey high school
CAMDEN -- Four teenagers accused of plotting to kill about 25 people in a lunch-period massacre at Winslow Township High School were charged today with terrorism, a crime no one has ever been convicted of in New Jersey. The boys, between the ages of 14 and 16, were arrested Wednesday after police heard about the alleged plot from administrators at the school, where three of the teens are students. Authorities did not release their names because of their ages. |

4/7/2006 7:26 AM UNITED NATIONS (AP) - The United States decided to forgo a seat on the new U.N. Human Rights Council this year rather than risk a losing battle for a panel it considers deeply flawed. But 42 countries announced their candidacy, including Cuba and Iran.
The United States was alone among the five veto-wielding members of the U.N. Security Council to avoid the 47-nation human rights body. Russia, China, Britain and France all applied for a seat. |
