A friend just sent me this article. Thought it was well worth sharing.

REMEMBER: Over 100 more abuse photos are scheduled to be released to the ACLU TOMORROW. They will probably be in the press starting Friday!!!

This is by court order from a federal judge. Please be aware that these materials are being released.

It is a major victory for the Anti-War movement. We need to make sure these images are not buried and lost down the memory hole. The war is unpopular. This could be the final nail in the coffin!

US faces prison ship allegations





The UN wants to investigate torture allegations at the camp
The United Nations says it has learned of serious allegations that the US is secretly detaining terrorism suspects, notably on American military ships.

The special rapporteur on torture, Manfred Nowak, said the claims were rumours at this stage, but urged the US to co-operate with an investigation.

He said the UN wants lists of the places of detention and those held.

The comments come five days after the UN accused the US of stalling on their requests to visit Guantanamo Bay.

Investigators have been asking to visit the jail in Cuba to carry out checks into allegations of human rights abuse.

More at link!
